Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies will bake evenly and achieve a delightful golden color.
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to facilitate easy cleanup.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this bowl aside as you prepare the wet ingredients.
4. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter until it is light and fluffy. Then, gradually add in the honey and granulated sugar. Beat the mixture until combined.
5. Add Vanilla and Egg: Incorporate the vanilla extract and egg into the creamed mixture. Continue to mix until everything is fully combined and smooth.
6. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want the dough to be soft and slightly sticky.
7. Chill the Dough (Optional): If time permits, chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This step helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.
8. Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie, as they will spread while baking.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
10. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Dust with Powdered Sugar (Optional): If desired, you can dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness and decoration.
12. Enjoy: Your Honey Vanilla Sugar Cookies are now ready to be enjoyed! These cookies are perfect for sharing, so make sure to savor a few and share the rest with family and friends. Happy baking!

6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Shape the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball. Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Remember that they will continue to firm up as they cool.
9. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Double Chocolate Honey Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, honey, maple syrup, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract into the mixture, ensuring everything is well combined and smooth.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly mixed.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
6. Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped pecans using a spatula, making sure they are evenly incorporated throughout the dough.
7. Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball. Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart due to the spreading.
8. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
9. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Honey Maple Pecan Sandies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
