OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place the nuts on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool and then chop into pieces.
• In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2 - 3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat until incorporated. Stir in the nuts, oats, and dried cranberries or chocolate chips.
• For large cookies, use 1/4 cup of batter (I like to use an ice cream scoop) and space the cookies about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the baking sheet. Then wet your hand and flatten the cookies slightly with your fingers so they are about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick.
• Bake the cookies for about 12 - 15 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges but still soft and a little wet in the centers.
• Remove from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.

HEALTHY OATMEAL COOKIES WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Whisk oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt together in a large bowl.
• Combine honey, applesauce, butter, egg, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Whisk until blended. Pour into the bowl with the flour mixture; stir until just combined. Fold chocolate chips and walnuts into the batter.
• Place batter in the refrigerator and let chill at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and place a rack in the center. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
• Remove chilled dough from the refrigerator. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes if very stiff.
• Drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 1 1/2-inch balls using a cookie scoop or spoon, leaving 1 inch of space around each. Gently flatten each cookie with your fingers to 3/4-inch thick.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, firm around the edges, and set on top, 9 to 10 minutes.
• Place the baking sheet on a wire rack. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring cookies to the wire rack to cool completely.
