Because of my baking blunders, today there are 2 posts with 2 different desserts from essentially the same foundation recipe. The earlier post was Chocolate Chip Blondies, and now this post features Honey-Crisp Sandwich Cookies.

In my quest today for soft chocolate chip cookies, I ended up with some completely different desserts that both happen to include chocolate (yay!). I was going to call these no-roll sugar cookies, but they don’t have cane sugar in them so that didn’t seem quite right. Honey-Crisp seems like a good name for these, though  🙂

* I used super thick raw, unfiltered honey, which is a thicker than store-bought honey. Also, subbing in agave or pure maple syrup will change the outcome of this recipe because they are not as thick.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375˚ F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, chia seed, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, with a hand blender cream together the oil, honey, and vanilla. I use very thick raw and unfiltered honey for this recipe, it won't work with runny store-bought honey!
  • Add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 2 additions, blending well between each addition until mixed.
  • Drop cookie dough onto cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are golden in color. Let cookies cool very well before removing from sheet. Cool completely before making into sandwiches.
  • Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread some Fudgy Ganache between the cookies and sandwich together. Enjoy!
  • You can make these cookies smaller if you like and use a smaller measure for scooping out the cookie dough.
  • If you cook these a little bit longer and a little bit darker, they have a toffee-like flavor to them (just don't burn them!)

Notes

I used super thick, raw, unfiltered local honey which is a thicker than store-bought honey. If you use runny store-bought honey, this recipe won't turn out. Also, subbing in agave or pure maple syrup will change the outcome of this recipe because they are not as thick.

  1. I made these and lets just say it was a hot mess. They spread out like crazy. Nothing like your cookie. So I am wondering why you did not use a egg to bind? I made a second batch into the blondes, and added the egg. Those were DELICIOUS!!

    • Hi Jolie! I am sorry that the cookies didn’t turn out for you (glad the blondies worked out though)! Some of us in my family have egg allergies, so I don’t generally use eggs but you can certainly use them if you want (the ground chia seed acts as the binder in this recipe). Also, I use raw, unfiltered honey which tends to be much thicker than most store-bought honey, and that could make a difference. If you want to try these again, you could use a beaten egg and some raw sugar instead of honey, and add some more flour if needed.
