Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For binding the ingredients together.
  • 1 cup rolled oats The star ingredient, providing a chewy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda For just the right amount of lift.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt To balance the sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Adds rich flavor and moisture.
  • 1/2 cup honey A natural sweetener that elevates the flavor profile.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar For that classic sweetness and slight caramel notes.
  • 1 egg Acts as a binding agent.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor (ensure it’s alcohol-free).

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking

  2. Let them cool on a baking rack for at least 5 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

To keep your cookies fresh, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Use coconut oil as a dairy-free alternative to butter or maple syrup as a half replacement for honey.
