Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add honey and beaten egg, mixing until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or hands, space tablespoons of dough on the baking sheet, ensuring at least 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but centers are slightly soft.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
