One of my best friends is in town and we had her over for dinner last night. After we ate, we settled in for a round of cribbage while eating cookies and ice cream. You all know my ice cream recipe, but these cookies….unreal.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups hard red flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- flaky sea salt, for topping
- Mix the wet ingredients: Beat the butter, oil, brown sugar, and honey until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Make the dough: Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix on low speed just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Portion and chill: Scoop the dough into roughly 3-tablespoon portions and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for about 1½ hours, until firm.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Space the dough balls apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the edges are set and just beginning to brown.
- Finish: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while the cookies are still warm. Let cool slightly before serving.
