“I love this recipe because it’s a box-ticker. It’s easy and can be made in batches and stored in the freezer. The texture of the cookie is soft on the inside (almost like a cake) but crunchy on the outside. ‘Burning’ the honey takes away a bit of sweetness and adds another layer of flavour, and the salt really brings out the floral notes in the honey. This cookie is incredible just out of the oven, but just as good a few days later! My tips are to not overwork the dough – creaming the mix too much will cause it to spread when baking. I like to bake any cookies in an egg ring or similar. This helps bake the cookie in a nice shape, and once it’s out of the oven, you can circle the ring around the cookie to create perfectly round edges.” - Rhiann Mead
