Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.75 cup Walnuts or 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, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Step 5
Fold in the dried cranberries and your choice of walnuts or dark chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread slightly during baking.
Step 7
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
