Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.75 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.75 cup butter
• 0.125 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup honey

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl; stir in walnuts.

Step 3

Beat butter and brown sugar together in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy; stir in honey, egg, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Stir flour mixture into honey mixture just until well combined (don't overmix). Chill dough at least 1 hour or overnight.

Step 4

Scoop about 1 tablespoon dough and roll into a ball for each cookie; place onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until just puffy (or a little bit flat in the middle for a gooey texture), 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets about 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
