Ingredients needed
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Flour
- Honey
- Baking soda + vinegar: You will be activating the baking soda with a little bit of vinegar.
Making the cookies
- Prep all cookie ingredients. In a food processor, pulse the butter and the flour until mixture resembles small crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. Mix the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. In a small bowl activate the baking soda, by combing baking soda with vinegar. It should start bubbling.
- Combine all ingredients: Pour egg/sugar mixture over the flour/butter. Mix with a spatula until combined. Add the vinegar/baking soda and honey. Mix until mixture comes together and can form a ball. Cover, and let the dough rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Start preheating the oven after the dough has had time to rest.
- Shape the cookies: Transfer dough to a floured surface. Roll out the dough and cut into circles. I make 1.5 – 2 inch circles.
- Bake. Bake until the cookies are golden brown. Cool completely.
- Fill. Spread jam on one of the cookies, then cover with another cookie. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Tips for success
- I prefer using a food processor or blender to mix the butter and flour. It’s quick and easy. But you can also use a pastry cutter, fork or butter knife and cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles small crumbs.
- Baking time can differ depending on the size of the cookie. If the cookie is small, baking time will be decrease. If the cookie is large baking time will increase.
- Make sure you honey is runny. It’s a lot easier to mix into the dough. If your honey isn’t runny, you can microwave it for a few seonds.
Store these honey cookies covered at room temperature for up to one week.
ENJOY!
