Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and melted coconut oil with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the brown sugar and honey to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, making sure everything is fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the centers look just set. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
