How to Make Honey and Toffee Cookies

PIN IT

1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla.
3. Mix honey or golden syrup into the creamed mixture until fully incorporated.
4. Whisk flour and baking powder separately, then fold into wet ingredients until just combined.
5. Drop tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Optionally press down slightly to flatten.
6. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
7. Transfer to a cooling rack to firm up. They continue to set as they cool.

I love how the aroma fills the kitchen—sweet honey mingles with buttery warmth!

What to Serve with Honey and Toffee Cookies

These dreamy cookies pair beautifully with:

• A warm cup of tea (black tea or herbal chai)
• A frothy latte or cappuccino
• A glass of cold milk or almond milk
• Ice cream or fruit when serving as part of a dessert board

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t over-bake: Cookies firm as they cool—pull them when edges are golden but centers still soft.
• Chill dough if too soft; 15 minutes in fridge helps shape.
• Use high-quality toffee bits if adding—they should be small so they distribute evenly.
• Measure flour properly—scoop with a spoon then level off to avoid dry cookies.

Storage Instructions

• At room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• To freeze: Freeze baked cookies in a sealed container for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Warm gently in a low oven (300 °F / 150 °C) for a few minutes to restore softness.

General Information

These cookies blend a classic buttery base with honey—a flavor staple in many American cookie traditions. Toffee bits add sweet caramel pockets reminiscent of toffee‑almond bars or English toffee candies. They’re a fun hybrid of buttery cookie and candy-laced treat.
