How to Make Whole Wheat Honey Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 335°F (168°C). Using a slightly cooler oven helps prevent burning and enhances the honey flavor.
  2. If using only brown sugar, adjust oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
  3. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in ½ cup honey, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a hand mixer on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, ½ cup chopped walnuts (or other nuts), and ½ cup raisins (or other dried fruit) using a spatula.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Avoid overbaking!
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
