Description
Chewy in the center, slightly crisp at the edges, these Honey Oatmeal Cookies are a comforting treat threaded with golden honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) honey
- 3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups (150 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup mix-ins (toasted chopped nuts, raisins, chocolate chips, or dried cranberries)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until silky.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Add the rolled oats and mix to combine.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter until just combined. Stir in your chosen mix-ins.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a healthier option, replace half the butter with mashed banana or applesauce. Make them gluten-free by using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
