🍯Ingredients


  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup salted butter

  • 1 cup Fingerlakes Honey Company honey

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1½ tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp ground ginger

  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg

  • 4¼ cups all-purpose flour

🥣Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; set aside.

  2. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and honey over low heat until melted and combined, whisking constantly. Set aside and allow to cool.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, baking soda, ginger, and nutmeg. Slowly whisk the egg mixture into the cooled honey mixture. Gradually stir in the flour with a spoon until just mixed.

  4. Refrigerate the dough for one hour.

  5. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets 2-inches apart.

  6. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the cookies sit on the pan for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.


Enjoy with a cup of Fingerlakes Honey Company Tea.
