Chewy, warm cinnamon cookies infused with sweet heat from hot honey. Soft centers, crisp edges, and a cozy flavor that’s familiar yet exciting.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

4 tablespoons oil

2 cups light brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup hot honey (chili-infused honey)

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

5 cups all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine butter, oil, brown sugar, honey, and hot honey in a large bowl or stand mixer. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute until smooth.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla; mix on low until incorporated.
  3. Scrape the bowl, then add flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix on low until just combined, then fold in any remaining dry bits.
  4. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and scoop 2-tablespoon dough balls onto it.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours until firm.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a new baking sheet with parchment or a silpat.
  7. Arrange 9–12 dough balls on the sheet and bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and lightly browned.
  8. Cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack. Repeat with remaining dough.

Notes

Add espresso powder to deepen flavor.

Add extra hot honey or cayenne for more heat.

Roll dough balls in cinnamon sugar for a crackly exterior.

Slightly underbake for extra chewiness.

Dough freezes well; bake frozen dough balls with 1–2 extra minutes.
