Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts, chopped
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of chopped mixed nuts, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and you have a sticky dough.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie, as they will spread slightly while baking.
- Flatten each cookie gently with the back of a fork or your fingers to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Oats Nuts Honey Cookies as a delicious and healthy snack!
Tips
- Choose your nuts wisely: A mix of almonds, walnuts, and pecans works best for maximum flavor complexity.
- Use room temperature honey and melted butter for smoother ingredient incorporation.
- Don't overmix the dough - just combine until ingredients are just incorporated to keep cookies tender.
- For extra crispiness, flatten cookies more; for chewier cookies, leave them slightly thicker.
- Watch cookies carefully in the last few minutes of baking - they can quickly go from golden to burnt due to honey's natural sugars.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the wire rack to achieve the perfect texture.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
