Brown-Butter Honey Cookies image

Just a few touches take this cookie from ordinary to extraordinary. Brown butter gives it a lovely nutty flavor, a small amount of cardamom adds just enough spice, and rolling the dough with an embossed rolling pin supplies a beautiful pattern. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Cookie Perfection" (Clarkson Potter).

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; then cook, swirling pan occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer brown butter to a heatproof bowl and let cool until solid.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cardamom, and salt. In another large bowl, beat brown butter and both sugars on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add honey, cream, egg yolk, and vanilla; continue beating until well combined, about 1 minute more. Gradually add flour mixture and mix on low until just combined. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll out on lightly floured parchment to 1/4-inch thickness. Roll with a textured rolling pin to imprint. Using a 2 1/2-inch square cutter, cut out cookies and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough, rerolling the scraps once. Freeze until solid, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer chilled cookies to fresh parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced about 1 inch apart. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely. (Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.)

PEANUT BUTTER & HONEY COOKIES



Peanut Butter & Honey Cookies image

We decided to try and get healthier, so I went shopping and bought Kraft All Natural Peanut Butter & Honey Peanut Butter. Well I tried to put it on a sandwich and WOW it was very pea-nutty lol. Way to strong for me on a sandwich (kinda like a handful of peanuts on bread) My son says to me "mum, it would make some pretty sweet...

Categories     Cookies

Time 23m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c kraft all natural peanut butter & honey peanut butter
1/2 c butter softened
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 F In a stand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat together until creamy.
  • 2. Add the egg and the vanilla extract and continue to mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
  • 3. Using a cookie dough scoop make 1 inch balls. Roll into white granulated sugar. Using a fork, press down each ball of dough to slightly flatten creating a criss-cross. Bake for 8-9 minutes depending on your oven. Don't over-bake. Make sure the bottom of the cookie is nicely browned. Let cool for a few minutes then transfer onto cooling rack.
  • 4. After I made these AMAZING soft and pea-nutty cookies with just a hint of honey. I was talking to my step son as he was eating some not even cooled cookies ( they don't even last 1 day in our house). We were joking around talking about adding banana's on top so it would taste like my favourite PB Honey and Banana sandwiches. I had enough mix to make one more dozen cookies. I took a frozen banana out of the freezer ( we save for smoothies when they get to dark to eat fresh) put a slice of banana on each cookie and then baked for 9 minutes (I cooked 1 extra minute in my oven because of the banana)

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature butter. This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and will result in a more tender cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and will prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet. This will help the cookies be uniform in size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Honey butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a sweet and buttery flavor. The honey butter frosting adds a touch of extra sweetness and richness. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
