Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup honey preferably mild-flavored like clover or wildflower
- 1 large egg room temperature

Notes
Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Make-ahead: Dough can be prepared, shaped into balls, and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 1 month; bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to baking time. Variations: Substitute lavender for chamomile for a different floral twist, or add lemon zest for a citrus note. For a glaze, mix powdered sugar with a little milk and drizzle over cooled cookies.
