I found this recipe of the internet and have had great success with it several times. Nothing fancy and a straight forward recipe. The cookies turn out with a cake like texture.
Honey Sweetened Chocolate Chip Cookies1 cup butter room temperature
1 cup (12 ounces) raw honey
2 eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups (15 ounces) all-purpose white flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups (18 ounces) chocolate chips (I used a mixture of semi-sweet and bittersweet)
1 cup (4 ounces) coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
Cream butter and honey. Add vanilla and eggs. Mix well.
Add flour, salt, and baking soda. Don't overmix.
Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
I refrigerate the dough for about 30-60 minutes before scooping.
Preheat oven 375 F.
Bake 12-14 minutes or until the edges are just starting to brown and the tops are set. Remove from oven. Don't overbake and leave the cookies on the pan to finish baking.
I use parchment paper and cookie sheet pans that have a layer of air in between two layers of aluminum. Similar to this:
