Ingredients

• 1 cup Freshly milled whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the freshly milled whole wheat flour, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well blended.

Step 5

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If using raisins or chocolate chips, fold them into the dough carefully with a spatula.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly undercooked.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy these nutritious and delicious cookies with a glass of milk, tea, or coffee!
