These Honey Bun Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the sweet, comforting flavors of honey and cinnamon in a soft, chewy cookie. Coated in a warm cinnamon-sugar mixture, each bite melts in your mouth with the perfect balance of sweetness and spice.
- Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup honey
For the cinnamon sugar coating:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and honey until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for the coating.
- Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden around the edges but soft in the center.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
