Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter (browned and cooled)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter and let it cool for 20–30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C); line baking sheet with parchment.
  3. Mix butter, sugars, and honey until creamy. Add egg, vanilla, salt, and baking soda.
