Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in rolled oats, honey, and optional nuts.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly soft.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • For crispier edges, bake on the lower oven rack.
  • Variations include adding spices like ginger or cloves, chocolate chips, or dried cranberries.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for gluten-free honey oatmeal cookies.
  • To make honey oatmeal cookie bars, press the dough into a greased baking pan and bake as directed, then cut into squares after cooling.
  • If cookies are too flat, the butter may not have been cold enough. If cookies are too dry, they may be overbaked. If cookies are too chewy, they may be underbaked.
