- In a large bowl, cream the butter and the brown sugar together till light and fluffy.
- Now add the egg, vanilla extract and honey. With the mixer on a low speed, mix until all the wet ingredients get well incorporated. Use a spatula and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and give the wet ingredients one last mix. Keep the wet ingredients aside.

- Toss the dry ingredients into the wet, add the raisins and mix well on a low speed till well combined.
- Using a trigger release ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop the cookie dough and place it on a lined baking sheet. Using your fingers, flatten the cookies down. Bake only 6 cookies on a sheet at a time.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn a light golden.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
