🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cups quick oats
• 0.75 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups brown sugar

• 0.5 cups raisins or dried cranberries
• 0.25 cups chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.25 cups dark chocolate chips (optional)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, quick oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly and set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Add the honey, vanilla extract, and egg to the butter mixture, and beat until well incorporated.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined.

6. Fold in the raisins or dried cranberries and any optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.

7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

8. Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon to form a disc shape.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will set as they cool.

10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
