A cup of coffee or tea will give you that jolt of caffeine, maybe sweetened with your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-coffee-creamer-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-coffee-creamer-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">coffee creamer<\/a>. But simply enjoying a warm beverage sometimes doesn\u2019t cut it, and having something sugary to pair with it helps to wake up your mind and soul. (Because who doesn\u2019t love a sugary afternoon snack?) These honey cookies are just the thing to go with that midday cuppa. The honey creates a soft and chewy cookie that will melt in your mouth with each bite. Prep and refrigerate the dough, then bake a batch that you can enjoy all week long.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Honey Cookies<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2056648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Honey-Cookies_TOHD24_41958_KristinaVanni_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Honey Cookies Ingredients.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kristina V\u00e4nni for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sugar<\/strong>: Sugar, beat together with the oil, creates the proper structure to create soft, moist honey cookies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canola oil<\/strong>: Oil is used as the fat in this recipe, helping to give this cookie a chewy texture.

Grease a baking sheet, then drop the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls at least 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies until they are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool for one minute before removing from the pan to a wire rack.<\/p>\n<p><em>Test Kitchen Tip:<\/em> Do not overbake the cookies! They will continue to cook on the hot pan after they are removed from the oven.

Swap it out with a softened room-temperature butter. Follow the instructions as normal, creaming the sugar and butter together in place of the oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add citrus zest<\/strong>: If you want to enhance the flavor of these honey cookies, mix in a tablespoon of zest from a lemon or an orange. This will brighten the flavor and pair nicely with the sweetness of the honey.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spice them up<\/strong>: For a different kind of flavor, sprinkle in warming spices such as nutmeg and allspice when mixing the dry ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drizzle with icing<\/strong>: While honey cookies are typically plain (ideal for dunking in coffee or tea), you could also drizzle these with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/quick-vanilla-glaze\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/quick-vanilla-glaze\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">vanilla glaze<\/a> or frost them with an easy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-vanilla-buttercream-frosting\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-vanilla-buttercream-frosting\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">vanilla buttercream<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Honey Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>Honey cookies last in an airtight container for up to one week. To properly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-store-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-store-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">store the cookies<\/a>, we recommend also placing a slice of soft bread in the container to keep them soft.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make honey cookies ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! You can prepare the dough for this honey cookies recipe and store the unbaked dough in the fridge for up to five days. The cookie dough can also freeze well. To freeze, after letting the dough chill, line a baking sheet with wax paper and drop cookie-sized balls onto it. Freeze the balls, then store in an airtight plastic bag. You can bake the cookies straight from the freezer, they\u2019ll just need another minute or two in the oven.<\/p>\n<h2>Honey Cookies Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2056652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Honey-Cookies_TOHD24_41958_KristinaVanni_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Honey Cookies\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kristina V\u00e4nni for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What does honey do in cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>Honey helps to make these cookies soft and moist. The structure of this particular type of sugar gives them their pillowy bite, and also imparts a more robust flavor compared to only using granulated sugar.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to chill the dough?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-chill-cookie-dough\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-chill-cookie-dough\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Chilling<\/a> cookie dough helps to give the cookies that pillowy structure and prevents them from separating. If you don\u2019t, you&#8217;ll end up with large, flat cookies.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you make soft cookies versus crispy cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>The ingredients you put in your cookies, as well as the way you prepare them, will result in a softer or crispier texture, depending on what you\u2019re going for. For a soft texture such as in these honey cookies, using room-temperature eggs and oil will help, and the honey also helps make these cookies soft. Beating the sugar and oil and chilling the dough also create a soft texture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These pillowy honey cookies pair perfectly with an afternoon cup of
