Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup raisins
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

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 medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and honey together using an electric mixer until creamy and well combined, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins and optional chopped nuts using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, place rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, which is fine.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets 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 in the freezer for up to 3 months.
