  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 1 13x18-inch baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Line one 13x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the butter and honey until combined.
  5. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
  6. Add the flour mixture and mix on low just until no dry flour remains.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
  9. Scoop the dough into 24 portions, about 1 1/2 tablespoons each, and arrange 12 portions at a time about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  10. Keep the remaining dough refrigerated.
  11. Bake each batch at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and the centers look just set.
  12. Cool the cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes.
  13. Transfer the cookies to a rack.
  14. Let the baking sheet cool completely before baking the next batch.

Notes

For tender cookies, stop mixing as soon as no dry flour remains and bake until the centers look just set. Store airtight at room temperature for up to 4 days; freeze for up to 3 months. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free butter and chocolate chips.
