Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In another large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and honey (or maple syrup) until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the raisins (or dried cranberries), chopped nuts, and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring 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.
