Ingredients for Cinnamon Manuka Honey Cookies

  • 1 stick plus 2.5 tablespoons of salted butter, softened
  • ⅔ cup of sugar
  • 4 tablespoons of Manuka honey
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • Lime zest
  • ½ teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 ⅔ cups of flour

Directions for Cinnamon Manuka Honey Cookies

  1. Prep time: 15 minutes. Cook time: 10 minutes. Total time: 25 minutes.
  2. To begin, set your oven to preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit on the Bake setting.
  3. After providing enough time for the butter to soften (two hours should be enough), beat your butter and your sugar in a medium-sized bowl until a lighter and creamy paste has formed.
  4. Now, add the Manuka honey, the cinnamon, the egg, and the lime zest into the mix, blending well.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and the baking powder together, and then toss the powdered mixture into your batter, mixing it well.
  6. Find a suitable and clean flat surface, and then spread some extra flour over it, so you can extend the dough. Using a cookie cutter (with any shape or form that you prefer), cut out your cookies. You should have enough dough for at least 12 cookies.
  7. Once all of your dough has been used, place the cookies on to an uncovered, ungreased baking sheet and take them to your oven, baking for about 10 minutes or until they have browned slightly. Allow the cookies some time to cool on a cooling rack or on some wax paper before serving.
