Honey Chocolate Chip Cookies

Submitted by Maeve R

"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."

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.

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.

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

Love this simple recipe! I use 1/4 Swerve (erythritol) in place of the sugar and they always come out yummy!!!

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 .
