In a separate bowl, stir together the melted butter, honey and vanilla extract. If your honey needs a boost to become liquid, simply heat it over low heat and then add  butter and vanilla. Once the liquid is liquid, combine these wet ingredients with the dry and stir until almost smooth.

 Forming and baking the dough: the final countdown

1.When it comes to shaping  dough, moisture is your friend. Wet your hands to prevent the sticky dough from sticking. Form the dough into a roll and divide it into twelve equal pieces. Roll them into balls, gently crush them  to flatten them, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Once your oven is ready, bake these heavenly bites for 10 to 12 minutes, just long enough to see the edges turn a nice golden brown.Care after baking: a moment of patience

1. You’re almost there! After removing the cookies, let them rest on the baking sheet for five minutes to harden. Then transfer them to a cooling rack. The result?Cookies are so delicious that they disappear long before their week-long shelf life.
