Instructions

In a large bowl, cream butter, oil, brown sugar, and honey on medium speed until smooth.
Add egg and vanilla, mixing until just combined. Scrape bowl as needed.
On low speed, mix in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Scoop dough into 3-tbsp rounds on a lined baking sheet. Cover and chill at least 1½ hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 10 minutes or until edges turn golden.
Immediately sprinkle with fleur de sel. Let cool slightly, then transfer to wire rack.

Notes

tes

Chilling prevents overspreading—don’t skip it.

Spray measuring cup with oil for easy honey release.

Fleur de sel gives the best finish; regular salt won’t replicate the effect.

Bake from frozen by adding 2 minutes to the bake time.

For chewier cookies, bake 9 minutes; for crisper edges, bake 11 minutes.
