Quick Honey & Walnut Tea Cookies

These cookies have a delightful crunch and a hint of honey sweetness, perfect for dipping into tea.

Ingredients

  • Egg: 1 medium

  • Sugar: 50g

  • Butter: 50g (melted and cooled slightly)

  • Honey: 40g (about 1 tbsp)

  • Flour: ~220g (all-purpose)

  • Baking Powder: ¾ tsp (4g)

  • Salt: A pinch

  • Filling: Finely chopped walnuts (optional, for the center)

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, and honey until well combined. Pour in the melted butter and whisk again until smooth.

  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Knead briefly until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. Note: Don’t over-knead, or the cookies will be tough.

  4. Shape & Fill: Roll the dough into small balls (about the size of a walnut). If using walnuts, flatten a ball, place a small piece of walnut in the center, and roll it back into a ball or a small log.

  5. Create the Ridges: To get the look in the photo, press the dough ball against a clean comb or a textured surface (like a gnocchi board or the tines of a fork) and roll it slightly to create those deep ridges.

  6. Bake: Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 10–12 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

  7. Finish: Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack. Dust with a little powdered sugar if desired.
