These cookies are chewy, light and subtly sweet. They are easy to make but feel a little fancy thanks to buckwheat flour.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Mix butter, honey, sugar and egg until combined. Add buckwheat flour, salt and baking soda and mix until fully combined.
  3. Use a 1 1/2 tbsp cookie scoop or drop 1 1/2 tbsp of dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. The batter will be wet and the cookies will spread so leave about 3 inches between each cookie.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until slightly golden brown around the edges. Top with sea salt immediately after removing from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. Enjoy!
