Almond Honey Cookies
Soft and lightly crisp almond honey cookies with golden edges and a tender center, naturally sweetened with honey and topped with a whole toasted almond for the perfect nutty finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 whole almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Press one whole almond gently into the center of each dough ball.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.
