# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 g)
02 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
03 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (225 g)
04 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60 g)
05 - 1/4 cup honey (60 ml)
06 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
# Steps:
01 - Set the oven to 325°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together the all-purpose flour and sea salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
03 - Beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and vanilla extract in a large bowl using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Gradually add the flour and salt mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness.
05 - Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead gently, then roll out to a uniform thickness of approximately 1/2 inch.
06 - Cut the dough into desired shapes with cookie cutters and arrange them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
07 - Optionally, chill the shaped cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to help retain shape during baking.
08 - Bake the cookies for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
