This One's A Honey Of A Cookie!


LISTEN TO THE PODCAST

Honey, as in Chocolate Chip Honey Cookies. Miriam Pascal stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about her new cookbook, Something Sweet.  Miriam told Tonia she uses oil in her cookies, instead of butter, to keep them non-dairy.  It also means they have a lighter texture.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 cup of honey
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2½ cups flour
  • 1 bag (about 1 -1 ½ cups) good quality chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together oil, honey and sugars until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the vanilla, baking soda, eggs, and cornstarch, beating well to combine after each addition. Add flour and beat until just combined. Add chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  4. Scoop the dough using a medium cookie scoop (or a heaping tablespoon) onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, until the tops are set. Do not overbake.
