Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 100 g Butter (3.5 oz), room temperature
  • 90 g Sugar (3.1 oz) (½ cup) (white)
  • 175 g Flour (6.1 oz) (1.4 cups) (all-purpose)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla powder (or Vanilla extract)
  • ½ tsp Baking powder
  • 3 tbsp Honey (or 2 tbsp Golden Syrup for toffee flavour)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Mix butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter and sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy, which helps to create a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Incorporate the flour, vanilla powder (or extract), baking powder, and honey (or golden syrup) into the butter and sugar mixture. Blend all ingredients well to form a uniform dough.
  4. Divide the dough: Split the dough into three equal parts to make it easier to shape and bake evenly.
  5. Shape dough rolls: Roll each portion into a neat log and place the rolls on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper, leaving enough space between them for spreading during baking.
  6. Flatten rolls: Gently press down on each dough roll with your finger to slightly flatten them, which will help the cookies bake evenly and spread properly.
  7. Bake the cookies: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies turn a golden-brown color.
  8. Cut while warm: Remove the tray from the oven and immediately cut the cookie rolls diagonally into individual cookies while they are still warm and pliable.
  9. Cool down: Allow the cut cookies to cool completely on a cooling rack to set their shape and enjoy once cooled.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Leave sufficient space between dough rolls on the tray to prevent cookies from sticking together as they spread.
  • Cut the cookies while warm to ensure clean slices; cooling first can make cutting difficult.
  • Honey offers a milder sweetness, whereas golden syrup gives a stronger toffee flavor—choose based on your preference.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
