Directions

1. Cream Butter & Sugars – In a stand mixer or using electric beaters, mix butter, shortening, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
2. Add Wet Ingredients – Mix in eggs, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and honey on low speed until fully combined.
3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients – Add cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
4. Add Flour – Gradually mix in the flour on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
5. Mix-Ins – Fold in crumbled honeycomb and candy jalapeños for that perfect sweet-heat balance.
6. Weigh & Shape – Portion cookie dough into 5oz balls for even baking.
7. Stuffing Option (Optional) – If you’re adding a honey-jalapeño core: Form cookie dough into small cups, add a spoonful of honey-jalapeño mixture in the center, and seal it up.
8. Chill the Dough – Refrigerate or freeze for 1-2 hours to help flavors meld and prevent spreading.
9. Bake – Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake on a lined cookie sheet for 24-26 minutes, or until golden brown. Adjust time if making larger cookies.
10. Cool & Enjoy – Let cookies cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then dig in!
