Step-by-Step Instructions for Italian Honey Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the room-temperature butter and honey until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully mixed before adding the next.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, while the centers remain soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
