Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup honey (or maple syrup)
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
• 0.5 cup dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries)
• 0.25 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the honey, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate chips (if using).

Step 7

Using a 1/4-cup measuring scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly to form a cookie shape.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
