Honey-Nut Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (your choice – walnuts or pecans work great!)
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, and then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring well to combine.
  5. Fold in the oats, nuts, honey, and dried fruit (if you’re using any). This mixture should be thick and hearty.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Don’t worry if they seem a bit soft; they’ll firm up as they cool.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
