Description

Moist, soft, and chewy cookies flavored with honey, walnuts, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla. This recipe is perfect for Rosh Hashanah or any time.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl; stir in walnuts.
2 Beat butter and brown sugar together in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy; stir in honey, egg, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Stir flour mixture into honey mixture just until well combined (don't overmix). Chill dough, 1 hour to overnight.
3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
4 Scoop about 1 tablespoon dough; roll into a ball and place onto a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until just puffy (or a little bit flat in the middle for a gooey texture), 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets about 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
