Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175 °C
Step 2
Cream together butter and honey until smooth and combined.
Step 3
Mix in the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients.
Step 4
Scoop roughly 1 inch cookie dough balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Step 5
Press the cookie dough balls out to desired ‘height’.
Step 6
Make a thumbprint indentation into each cookie and fill with a generous teaspoon of apricot jam. For a variation, I sometimes swirl the jam into the dough instead of putting it on the top.
Step 7
Bake for 11-12 minutes until just starting to turn brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Place cookies on a wire rack to finish cooling.
