Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
2 tablespoons honey for glaze
1 tablespoon warm water for glaze

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add honey, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, honey, and warm water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary.
Glaze the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, dip the tops into the honey glaze and allow excess to drip off. Place the glazed cookies back on the wire rack to set.
