Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and honey until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing well until fully combined.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
