Calories: 318kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs room temp
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Honey Butter Glaze:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Make dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Next, add in the eggs and vanilla extract and beat to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt with a whisk. Then, add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture and stir well to combine.
- Scoop: After that, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray it well with nonstick cooking spray.
- Use a large sized cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and roll them into balls. Press the dough balls down into1/4 inch sized discs. Using a thick knife (like a butter knife) or a chopstick, make a spiral shape in the top of each cookie.
- Chill and Bake: Proceed to place the sheet of cookies into the freezer for 10 minutes to chill. Start preheating the oven to 350 degrees F while the cookies are chilling.
- Then, remove the cookies from the freezer and place them into the oven. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the cookies are still soft and are just baked.
- Glaze: While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze for the topping. In a medium size bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, honey, and milk with a whisk until fully blended and smooth.
- Be sure to let the cookies cool completely before glazing the tops. Once cooled, brush the icing over the entire tops and sides of each of the cookies.
- Let the icing set and harden before eating the cookies. Serve and enjoy!
