Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine butter, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and honey. Beat until creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low until just combined, about 30 seconds. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Gradually add to wet batter, mixing until just combined.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized rounds onto parchment-lined baking sheets, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1.5 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake chilled cookies for about 10 minutes until edges are set and centers look soft.
  6. Remove from oven, sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel, and cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
