Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients and equipment.
  2. Melt the salted butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add honey and sugar to the browned butter, stir on low heat until sugar is dissolved, then cool to room temperature.
  4. Whisk together the cooled honey mixture with the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  5. Sift in baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and flour. Stir until combined with no dry bits remaining.
  6. Drop rounded balls of dough onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8-9 minutes until lightly golden around the edges but soft in the center.
  8. Cool the cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
