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 CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Honey Chocolate Chip Cookies image

A good friend, who shares my love of cooking, gave me this recipe about 5 years ago. I don't know where she got it. Everyone who tastes the cookies, loves them. The recipe has no eggs and for those with gluten allergies, they work fine with rice flour. Do let people know they are made with honey; some people are deathly allergic to it.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 5h

Yield about 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons meringue powder
1 1-pound box confectioners' sugar
5 to 6 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Make the cookies: Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the honey, egg and vanilla until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until combined. Divide the dough in half and shape each piece into a disk; wrap each disk in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 disk at a time, flour the dough and roll out until 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into shapes with 3-inch cookie cutters. Arrange 1 inch apart on the prepared pans. Reroll the scraps and cut out more cookies. (If the dough is too soft to work with, refrigerate until firm.)
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are lightly browned, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool on the pans.
  • Meanwhile, make the icing: Whisk the meringue powder and confectioners? sugar in a large bowl. Beat in 5 tablespoons water with a mixer on medium speed until soft glossy peaks form. Beat in up to 1 more tablespoon water to thin the consistency if necessary. Spread or pipe the icing onto the cookies.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use parchment paper: This prevents the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet and makes them easy to remove.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking sugar cookies is 375°F (190°C). This temperature will help the cookies brown evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Sugar cookies are done when the edges are just starting to turn golden brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cookies.

Conclusion:

Sugar cookies are a classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to holiday gatherings. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious sugar cookies that will be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give sugar cookies a try.
