Instructions:
-
Prepare the dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, caster sugar, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix them well until evenly combined. -
Add butter:
Add room-temperature butter to the mixture and knead it until the dough is soft and smooth. There is no need to add water; the butter will provide enough moisture. -
Chill the dough:
Once the dough is ready, cover it and place it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to firm up. -
Shape the cookies:
After 20 minutes, remove the dough from the fridge. Take small portions of dough and roll them into balls (about 8 pieces). Gently flatten the dough balls with your hands to form round cookie shapes. -
Add chocolate chips:
Place a few chocolate chips on top of each cookie and gently press them down into the dough. -
Preheat the oven:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. -
Bake the cookies:
Grease a baking tray with butter or line it with parchment paper. Place the cookies on the tray and bake them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. -
Cool and serve:
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, they are ready to be served.
