These honey shortbread cookies are lightly sweet, buttery, and come together with just a few pantry staples. No eggs, no complicated steps \u2013 just mix, roll, and bake.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"412\" data-end=\"662\">I made these on a whim and they turned out so good. They have that classic shortbread texture but with a subtle honey flavor that makes them a little different (in a good way). Perfect with coffee, tea, or honestly just straight off the baking sheet.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"lbjtps\" data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"679\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"680\" data-end=\"808\">\n<li data-section-id=\"28m6dt\" data-start=\"680\" data-end=\"697\">1\/4 cup honey<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"y2mlu7\" data-start=\"698\" data-end=\"733\">1\/2 cup unsalted butter, melted<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"884ltr\" data-start=\"734\" data-end=\"766\">1 3\/4 cups self-rising flour<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"iados9\" data-start=\"767\" data-end=\"808\">1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1nnkyb4\" data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"824\">Directions<\/h3>\n<ol data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"1335\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1mhqwt1\" data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"899\">Preheat your oven to 325\u00b0F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1hloyzj\" data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"989\">In a bowl, mix the melted butter and honey together until fully combined and smooth.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"146vzme\" data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"1060\">Add the flour (and vanilla if using) and mix until a dough forms.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"43ar4\" data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1137\">Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to about 1\/5 inch thick.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"rinv3s\" data-start=\"1138\" data-end=\"1225\">Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on your prepared baking sheet.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"bo454d\" data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1301\">Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"18rj0s1\" data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1335\">Let cool slightly\u2026 then enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"ynqyk8\" data-start=\"1337\" data-end=\"1345\">Tips<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1583\">\n<li data-section-id=\"uf89rt\" data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1427\">If the dough feels sticky, just add a little more flour while rolling it out.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"10236m6\" data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1501\">These don\u2019t spread much, so you can place them fairly close together.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"371nlf\" data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1583\">Want a little extra flavor?
