Honey Snickerdoodle Cookies

Honey Snickerdoodle Cookies

  • Ingredients
    • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
    • ½ cup Mountain Ridge Honey (raw or organic)
    • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 large egg yolk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • Instructions
    • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter foams and turns golden brown with small brown specks at the bottom and a nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately and pour into a mixing bowl. Let cool for 15–20 minutes.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and cinnamon.
    • Once the brown butter has cooled, whisk in the Mountain Ridge Honey and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
    • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
    • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for rolling.
    • Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions and roll into balls. Roll each ball generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
    • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
