Honey cookies at home

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the cookies. Use the highest quality flour. If your honey is sweet (floral, lime), then use baking powder as indicated in the recipe. If honey is bitter (chestnut, eucalyptus), then replace it with soda. Instead of baking powder and plain flour, you can use the same amount of self-raising flour (190 g).

2. Step 2:

   

   Put honey, brown sugar and butter in a saucepan.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the saucepan on the stove and heat, stirring, on the lowest heat until the butter melts. Remove the saucepan with honey mass from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

5. Step 5:

   

   Mix everything with a spoon, or better sift through a sieve to saturate the flour with oxygen.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the cooled honey-butter mixture to the flour and knead a soft elastic dough.

8. Step 7:

   

   At first, the dough will stick to your hands, but as you knead it, it will become less sticky. The finished dough should be very soft and pliable. Try not to add extra flour to it, otherwise the cookies will not turn out as crumbly and airy as needed.

9. Step 8:

   

   Roll the dough into balls the size of a walnut or slightly larger. I got 13 balls.

10. Step 9:

    

    Place the resulting balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment, leaving a little space between them. Slightly flatten the balls with your hands or with the curly bottom of the glass. I made small holes in the cookies with a wooden juicer.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the baking tray with cookies in a preheated oven to 200°From the oven for 5-7 minutes to the medium level. Focus not on a specific time, but on the features of your oven. The main thing is not to over-dry the cookies. Therefore, do not go far from the oven. At the same time, check whether it is burnt from below. If the cookies are overexposed in the oven, they will become hard from soft and crumbly. The cookies should be lightly browned on top and bottom.

12. Step 11:

    

    If the cookies are browned from the bottom and still pale on top, leave it in the cooling oven for another 5 minutes, moving the baking sheet to the upper level. Remove the finished cookies from the oven. Since the baking sheet is still hot, the cookies continue to brown from the bottom. And so that it does not burn, remove it from the baking sheet.

13. Step 12:

    

    Completely cool the cookies at room temperature and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
