Honey Slice and Bake Cookies

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350ºfF). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

   Tip: Make sure to sift the flour for a lighter texture.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream together sugar, brown sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for this step.

4. 4

   Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.

   Tip: Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

5. 5

   Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

   Tip: Stop as soon as the ingredients are combined, or the dough will become tough.

6. 6

   Stir in chopped walnuts and cinnamon (if using).

   Tip: Make sure the walnuts are evenly distributed for the best texture.

7. 7

   Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

   Tip: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies.

8. 8

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the cookies after 10 minutes, as the baking time may vary.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: Let the cookies cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
