Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 cookie scoop
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and honey until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor and texture.
Serving
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or store for later enjoyment.
Storage
- Once completely cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain freshness.
