Ingredients

• 0.5 cup (softened) unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and honey until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats. If desired, stir in the raisins and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Lightly press down on each ball with the back of a spoon to slightly flatten.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your homemade honey-sweetened oatmeal cookies!
