Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups ground flax seeds
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups honey
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups rolled oats
• 0.25 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts, pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flax seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers look just set.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy these wholesome Flax Seed Honey Cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or a cold glass of milk!
