Vintage Chocolate Honeys Cookies
Taste the past with these vintage chocolate honeys cookies, adapted from Rockwood & Co. by But First, Cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour all purpose
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup raisins (OPTIONAL)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1 egg
- 6 Tbsp shortening (Crisco)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 Tbsp water hot
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/12 cups chocolate pieces/crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the shortening and egg until well combined. (The original recipe says fluffy but it's okay if you don't achieve that consistency.)
- Measure the honey into a glass (liquid) measuring cup and add the 2 Tbsp of hot water to it, and stir until combined into a syrup.
- Add half the flour mixture to the shortening bowl, mix on low speed to combine. Then add half the honey syrup, mixing again. Repeat. Batter will be light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla and chocolate bits, stirring to combine.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of batter onto parchment paper 2 inches apart. Bake for about 9 minutes, or until edges are golden. Allow several minutes to cool on baking sheet before removing to a rack.
