Honey cookies are soft, thick and chewy cookies made with floral honey and sweet cinnamon. These honey sugar cookies are easy to make and have a quick chill time.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together the cubes of cold butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar and honey on medium speed for 2 - 3 minutes or until the butter and sugars are well combined.
On low, cream in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.Cover the cookie dough and transfer to the fridge to chill for 30 - 60 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C) for about 20-30 minutes before baking the cookies. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar into a small bowl if you would like to roll the cookies in sugar before baking.
Using a medium cookie scoop (2 tablespoons, 30 ml), scoop the honey sugar cookie dough, roll the dough ball into the sugar and place the honey cookie dough balls onto the lined baking sheet about 3 inches (8 cm) apart.
