Recipe Title
** 🐝🍯**
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for a buzz of goodness!)
- 1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter (for that bee-autiful flavor)
- 1 cup honey (make sure it’s as golden as the sun!)
- 2 large eggs (the bee's knees of binding!)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (only the best for our buzzing buddies!)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (to sweeten the hive!)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda (for a lift off!)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt (just a pinch to keep the buzz balanced)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (for a little extra rise!)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (the foundation of our honeycomb cookies)
Customization Tip: You can swap the butter for coconut oil or use almond butter for a nutty twist!
Instructions
-
Gather Your Buzz Squad: Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 330°F for convection ovens) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper! Get ready to whip up something sweet!
-
Mixing Magic: In a large mixing bowl, take your softened butter and give it a good whisk with your sugar, honey, vanilla, and peanut butter until it's as smooth as a bee’s dance moves! Buzz buzz, wiggle wiggle!
-
Egg-citing Action: Add in those eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition! It’s like a bee adding pollen to flowers; be gentle but thorough!
-
Dry Ingredients Don’t Fly Alone: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to your buzzing peanut butter concoction until just combined. Can you hear the buzz of excitement?
-
Scoop and Space Apart: Grab a large ice cream scoop (or a big spoon if you’re feeling daring!) and place 6-8 scoops of dough on each baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart for some bee-buzzing space.
-
Bake It Off: Pop those beauties in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes until they’re golden brown and perfectly puffed. Rotate your pans halfway through for an even bake! Don’t let them fly away!
-
Cooling Down: Let your cookie delights sit on the baking pans for about 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool down.
-
Creative Plating: Once they’re cool, it’s time to give your cookies a bee-utiful design! Use melted chocolate to drizzle decorative wings on top, or press chocolate chips for eyes. Can you create a whole bee family?
Fun Bug Fact
Did you know that honey never spoils? Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3000 years old and still perfectly edible! Talk about a timeless treat!
Safety Tip
Make sure to have adult supervision when using the oven to bake your cookies or if you are melting chocolate! Safe cooking is sweet cooking!
Final Touch
Add some extra fun with edible glitter for sparkle, or colorful sprinkles to resemble flower petals around your cookies! Share your buzzing creations and make a meal out of it with your family!
