Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned 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 Creamy nut butter (almond or peanut)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
• 0.75 cup Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
• 0.5 cup Seeds (pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds)
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, nut butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Mix in the honey, vanilla extract, and eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped nuts, dried fruit, seeds, and dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute throughout the dough.

Step 7

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
