Ingredients

Honey Bun Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon butter flavoring or extract this can be skipped if you don't have it on hand
  • 2 tablespoon corn starch
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon good quality
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Honey Glaze

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey I used raw honey for stronger flavor
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F then line a baking sheet with parchement paper and set aside.
  • Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and creamy. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, butter extract, and mix until smooth.
  • Gently mix in the flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, & salt.
  • Scoop out equally sized cookie dough balls, roll them in between the palm of your hands, then place them on the baking sheet and gently flatten to about 1 inch in thickness. Using a chopstick make the honey bun swirl indentations on each cookie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes then let the cookies cool down on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.
  • Make the honey butter glaze.
  • While the cookies are still in the oven, melt the butter, powdered sugar, honey, and milk extract in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Continuously stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved. Make sure not to boil the butter sauce.
  • Remove the pan from the stovetop, then using a pastry brush, brush each warm cookie with the butter sauce, let the glaze set for a few minutes then enjoy!
