Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Ensure it is melted and slightly cooled to promote the right consistency.
  • 0.5 cup Pure Honey Clover or wildflower honey works best.
  • 0.75 cup Dark Brown Sugar Can be substituted with light brown sugar, but the flavor will differ.
  • 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar Standard white sugar is preferred.
  • 1 large Egg Make sure it is at room temperature for better emulsification.

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

For the Finishing Touch

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter, pure honey, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add in a large room-temperature egg and vanilla extract, ensuring it is fully emulsified for a smooth batter.
  3. Sprinkle flour, baking soda, and kosher salt over the wet ingredients and gently fold until no flour streaks remain.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, portion out dough into 2-tablespoon balls, spacing about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges turn caramel while the centers stay soft.
  8. Tap the baking sheet gently against the counter to create crinkles, sprinkle flaky sea salt over warm cookies, and cool on a wire rack.
