Wet Ingredients
- 100 g Butter (3.5 oz), room temperature
- 3 tbsp Honey (or 2 tbsp Golden Syrup for toffee flavour)
- 2 tsp Vanilla powder (or Vanilla extract)
Dry Ingredients
- 90 g Sugar (3.1 oz), white (½ cup)
- 175 g Flour (6.1 oz) (1.4 cups), all-purpose
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cookies.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream the room-temperature butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring even sweetness throughout the dough.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Incorporate the vanilla powder (or extract), baking powder, honey (or golden syrup), and flour into the butter and sugar mixture. Blend all ingredients together thoroughly to form a smooth dough.
- Divide Dough: Separate the dough into three equal portions to make handling and rolling easier.
- Roll Dough: Shape each portion into a roll and place them on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper, ensuring no sticking occurs.
- Space Dough Rolls: Leave ample space between each roll on the tray as the cookies will spread while baking. Place only two rolls per tray for best results.
- Flatten Rolls: Gently press down the dough rolls with your finger to slightly flatten them, which helps form the cookies’ shape.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
- Cut Diagonally: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, carefully cut the rolls diagonally while still warm. This step is crucial as warm dough is easier to slice cleanly.
- Cool Down: Allow the cut cookies to cool completely on a wire rack or tray before serving to let them set and develop their full texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use golden syrup instead of honey to achieve a more pronounced toffee flavor.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and better dough consistency.
- Cutting the cookies while warm is essential for clean slices; once cooled, the dough will harden and become difficult to cut.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven’s heat distribution to avoid overbaking.
