Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 sticks salted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Flakey sea salt, for topping
Creamy Honey Dip, recipe follows
Sprinkles, for topping cookies
1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons honey, plus additional for drizzling
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Steps:

  • Place the butter in a pot over medium heat. Once melted, reduce the heat to low and allow the butter to just barely simmer. Cook until the milk solids that sink are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Set aside to cool until the butter is still liquid, but not hot.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine the brown butter, sugars and honey in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until combined and a homogenous mixture is formed, about 2 minutes. (The mixture will look grainy.) Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, until incorporated. Add the vanilla.
  • Whisk together the flour and baking soda in a small mixing bowl. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and beat just until incorporated, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Using a small scooper, scoop 1 1/2-tablespoon mounds onto the prepared baking sheets, being sure to leave distance in between the cookies. Sprinkle with flakey salt.
  • Bake until deeply golden brown, about 15 minutes. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 3 minutes. Move to a cooling rack to cool completely. Dip cookies in Creamy Honey Dip, then top with sprinkles.
  • Whisk together the yogurt, honey and spice in a small mixing bowl. Scrape into a serving ramekin. Drizzle with more honey. Serve alongside the cookies.

HONEY WHEAT COOKIES

These cookies are wonderful, and good for you too! I prefer to use real butter but margarine can be substituted. Wheat germ can also be substituted for the wheat bran. My two year old loves these and I feel less guilty letting him eat them.
