Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and honey together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter-honey mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

If desired, gently fold in the chopped nuts and raisins or chocolate chips.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Flatten the dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help them spread evenly during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and chewy.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
