Recipe for honey and cinnamon cookies
Dec. 07, 2025
These cookies are my go-to if I want to bring treats to parties and events with friends. They don't miss and they don't even require an annoying website banner that you have to dismiss.
Ingredients - makes ~16 cookies
For the dough:
- 100g butter or baking margarine (I use Stork)
- 100g caster sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 200g self-raising flour
For the coating:
- Approx. 4 tablespoons demerara/turbinado sugar
- Approx. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 170C/325F.
Mix butter and sugar together until creamy.
Add egg yolks, one at a time and mix in well between.
Add cinnamon, mix in well before adding the honey and mixing in well.
Add the flour and mix in. You don't really need to sift it beforehand.
The dough should be moldable without being dry and falling apart. You should be able to form a sphere without cracks with the dough in the palm of your hand.
Partition the dough into however many cookies you want to make. This recipe makes 16 large ones, but you could probably get 20 smaller ones.
Take a lump of the dough, and form it into a ball in your hand. You don't want it to be all cracked up, so try and make sure it's nice and smooth.
In a plate, add the sugar and cinnamon for coating and mix them together. You don't have to use coarse sugar like demerara/turbinado, but it adds so much texturally so I really recommend it.
Roll the dough ball in the sugar dusting and once fully coated, press it down on one side to make it puck shaped with a thumb divot in the middle. Flip it over and do the same on the other side so the sugar gets pressed into it.
Put onto baking tray lined with baking paper. You can fit about 8 onto a tray the size of mine if you stagger them a bit so they dont touch once cooked.
Bake for 12-18 minutes until golden. Leave to cool on the tray until they're cooled off and solid enough to pick up and eat!
