Directions

Step 1: Make the cookie dough

Start by creaming together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 5 to 7 minutes. Once fully combined, scrape down the side of the bowl and then add in the egg, molasses, honey and vanilla extract. Beat again until well mixed.

In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed ingredients.

Divide the dough in half. Press each portion into a disk and wrap tightly before refrigerating for an hour, or up to overnight.

Step 2: Roll out the dough

Next, it’s time to grab your rolling pin. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough out until it’s about 1/8-inch thick. Cut with a 2-inch round cookie cutter.

Place the cookies on a sheet pan leaving about two inches between each round. Bake at 350ºF for 9 to 11 minutes or until the cookies are just set and slightly golden around the edges.

Remove the cookies from the pan and allow them to cool on a wire rack completely.
