How to Make Simple Little Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1/4 cup (50g) honey until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
  5. Stir in 1 cup (80g) rolled oats, 1/2 cup (60g) shredded coconut, and 1/4 cup (30g) slivered almonds.
  6. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Use a melon baller or a spoon to gently portion the dough, creating small cookie mounds. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving and enjoying!
