Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cookies dense.
If desired, fold in the raisins and chopped nuts using a spatula.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking 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.
