Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add in the honey, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
-
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky, but that's okay.
-
Place some additional granulated sugar in a small bowl. Using a tablespoon of dough at a time, roll the dough into balls and then coat them in the sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Gently press down on each cookie with the back of a fork to slightly flatten them.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delightful Dutch Honey Cookies with your favorite beverage.
