Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • colored sanding sugar (optional, to taste)

Instruction

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat butter and honey until thoroughly combined.
  • Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
  • Mix in flour and salt until just combined.
  • Divide dough into two parts. Wrap each section in plastic wrap and refrigerate for thirty minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325 F.
  • Remove first half of dough from the refrigerator and roll out on a floured surface to just over 1/4" thick.
  • Cut dough into shapes with cookie cutters and optionally sprinkle the tops of the raw cookies with colored sanding sugar.
  • Arrange cut out cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat. The cookies will not rise very much so they can be placed close together on the sheet.
  • Bake for 13 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to brown.
  • Cool cookies on a cooling rack.
  • Roll out, cut, and bake the second half of the dough.
