- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar

Preparation
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, honey, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Serving
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy.
Storage
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe bag.
