Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted and cooled butter, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the egg to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
