These honey cookies are made using a simple, traditional recipe with just a handful of ingredients that you likely already have at home. They are soft, delicious, and only get better over time. You can bake a large batch and enjoy them for days. For an extra touch, decorate them with walnuts, dried fruit, or even a dusting of powdered sugar.
Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons honey
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Chopped walnuts or raisins (optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, sugar, and egg until well combined.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, then mix again.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough lightly, then break off small portions and roll them into balls.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 12 minutes.
