Citrus-Kissed Honey Buttons

  • 2 C flour
  • 1/2 t baking soda
  • 1/2 t cream of tartar
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 1/2 C sugar or honey granules
  • 4 T butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 T honey
  • 1 T grated lemon zest (need 1 lemon)
  • 1 T grated orange zest
  • 1 t lemon extract

Whisk flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a small bowl.  Beat sugar and butter in a mixing bowl on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.  Add egg, honey, lemon zest, orange zest, and lemon extract, and beat until blended.   Gradually add the flour mixture, beating on low speed just until combined.  Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes or overnight.  Roll the dough into 36 balls (about 2 level teaspoons each) with your hands.  Place 2 inches apart on a baking stone (or parchment covered baking sheet).  Bake at 375 degrees one batch at a time until puffed and beginning to crack (8 minutes).  Cool on the stone for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
