Servings: persons

1/2 cups Unsalted Butter
1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
1/3 cups Brown Sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons Ground Allspice
1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 whole Egg
3 Tablespoons Honey
3/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1-1/2 cup Quick Cook Oats
1-1/2 cup Dried Cranberries Or Raisins
1/2 cups Pecans, Chopped

1
Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining with parchment paper or silpat.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Add spices, salt, and baking soda, mix to combine. Add vanilla and mix until smooth.
3
Beat in the egg, then add honey and mix well. Add flour, then oats. Stir to combine. Fold in cranberries and nuts.
4
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until dough is completely chilled (this allows the oatmeal to absorb the honey which gives these cookies a moist and tender texture).
5
When you are ready to bake the cookies, heat the oven to 375u00b0F.
6
Using a tablespoon or a cookie dough scoop, drop the chilled dough on to the prepared baking sheets leaving at least 2 inches between them. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes or until the tops just barely begin to turn brown. If you are baking 2 pans at the same time, rotate the pans from top to bottom shelf halfway through the baking time.
7
Remove cookies from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.
8
Note: This dough can also be frozen. Drop the cookies on a sheet pan making sure there is about 1 inch between them. Place pan in the freezer until dough is firm. Transfer frozen dough balls in to a freezer bag. When ready to serve, heat oven and place desired number of frozen cookies on a lined baking sheet. Increase baking time for frozen dough to 14 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
