Thyme Honey Butter Cookies

Thyme Honey Butter Cookies are a delightful twist on traditional buttery cookies. Infused with the aromatic essence of fresh thyme and the sweetness of honey, these cookies are perfect for holiday gatherings or simply enjoying with a warm cup of tea. The unique flavor combination makes them a standout treat that is certain to impress family and friends.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that the cookies bake evenly.
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, add the unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat them together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Incorporate Honey and Thyme: Add the honey and fresh thyme leaves to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined. Make sure the thyme is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This helps to combine the dry ingredients evenly without lumps.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cookies tough.
7. Add Vanilla and Egg: Add the vanilla extract and the egg into the dough, mixing until fully incorporated. The dough should be soft but not too sticky.
8. Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Flatten Slightly: Using the back of a fork or your fingers, gently flatten each cookie ball. This will help them to bake evenly into a cookie shape.
10. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
11. Cool the Cookies: After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Enjoy: Once cooled, your Thyme Honey Butter Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
