Honey Chocolate Chip Cookies

"A good friend, who shares my love of cooking, gave me this recipe about 5 years ago. I don't know where she got it. Everyone who tastes the cookies, loves them. The recipe has no eggs and for those with gluten allergies, they work fine with rice flour. Do let people know they are made with honey; some people are deathly allergic to it."

directions

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
  • Cream honey, sugar and butter together until smooth, add vanilla just before you finish with the sugar and butter.
  • Add flour mixture and beat until just smooth. Do NOT overbeat or the cookies will be too soft. (Trust me.)
  • Add chocolate chips.
  • Drop on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 20 minutes (If you have a convection oven, they will be done in about 12 minutes.).
  • Let them cool on the pans unti you can lift them off with a spatula to cooling racks.

  1. No need to add anything crazy to this cookie, it’s great as is! It’s a small batch which is nice. My one tweak would be to chill the dough before baking, mine spread a bit. Thank you for sharing this! I like that I have a recipe now, to use up my honey after it’s crystallized.
     
  2. Not trying to be mean but this is one of the worst cookies I have eaten. I did not care for the taste or the smell of these (and I do enjoy the taste of honey). Did not even cook a second batch just threw away the batter. Do not waste your ingredients.
     
  3. absolutely incredible, i made them vegan by using vegan butter, and i also used 3/4 of a cup of honey and added no sugar.... i repeat, these were amazing
     
  4. Love this simple recipe! I use 1/4 Swerve (erythritol) in place of the sugar and they always come out yummy!!!
     
  5. I like these a lot. I froze my cookie dough for an hour and baked them at 350 for about 9 to 10 mins. I tweaked the dough a bit too, I didnt have butter so I used a mild olive oil and they were still very yummy. What i like most about the dish is the chocolate is the star and you get a very very mild honey note flavor and you arent tasting big globs of sugar crusted into the flavor. Its a clean tasting cookie with no lingering after taste. The cookies took me less than 10 mins to put together. You have to let them cool completely for a while or they will fall apart when you try to pick one up and eat one. After baking my cookies spread a little bit but I would rather have that than cakey cookies, WHICH I HATE WITH A PASSION! These were gooey in the center and very crisp at the ends .

  1. Just made these using 1 cup paleo flour with 1/4 regenerative whole wheat, and subbed coconut sugar for the sugar. Still used honey. Spread out a lot, but my butter was room temp, maybe it wasn’t suppose to be? They look and smell good. Kids have been eating the batter bc no eggs!! :D Not out of oven yet, but guessing kids will love them. Thanks for recipe!
     
  2. By the way love em | | | | |
     
  3. You wrote until wrong on step 8 you wrote unti
     
  4. I added a pinch of cornstarch and it made them the perfect texture!!! They were fluffy and held together better!
     
  5. I used 1/2 cup of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of baking power because I didnt have baking soda or butter and they were still wonderful and tasty. Baked mine at 350 for 9 to 10 mins. It filled my kitchen with a yummy smell as well.
