Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter, honey, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until fully combined.
Gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture until just incorporated.
Scoop rounded mounds of dough and place them on baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are soft.
Let cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
