Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Freshly milled whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the freshly milled whole wheat flour, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well blended.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
If using raisins or chocolate chips, fold them into the dough carefully with a spatula.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly undercooked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these nutritious and delicious cookies with a glass of milk, tea, or coffee!
