Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or leave it ungreased.

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened margarine or butter, packed brown sugar, honey, and egg using a hand mixer on medium speed. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined and no flour pockets remain.

Using a teaspoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread while baking.
