Sassy Sugar Cookies
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks, 6 ounces) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (6 ounces) light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (3 ounces-weight) honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 2 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) turbinado sugar
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add in the honey, vanilla, cinnamon, cayenne, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and egg to combine well. Stir in the flour.
- Put the turbinado sugar in a small bowl.
- Scoop the dough into two-tablespoon portions. Roll the dough in the turbinado sugar. Place cookies about 3 inches apart on the baking sheets, leaving a good amount of room for them to spread.
- Bake for 10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking. They are easy to overcook, going from chewy to crispy in a minute, so keep a close eye and pull them as soon as the edges are just set and get some color on them; the middles will look slighly underdone.
- Allow cookies to rest for a few minutes on the sheets, then remove them to a rack to finish cooling.
