Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.75 cup Walnuts or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the dried cranberries and your choice of walnuts or dark chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread slightly during baking.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
