- 2 cups quick oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: sweetened shredded coconut, nuts, or chocolate chips (quantity as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Cream Butter and Honey: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture, mixing thoroughly to integrate.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, quick oats, and shredded coconut if you are using it.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is evenly combined.
- Scoop Dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 8 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added flavor and texture, consider adding nuts, chocolate chips, or sweetened shredded coconut.
- Do not overbake to maintain softness inside the cookies; watch closely after 7 minutes.
- Storing cookies in an airtight container keeps them fresh for several days.
- Using creamed honey ensures easier mixing and a better texture.
