Ingredients: 4 Tablespoons Earth Balance Non-hydrogenated Butter Substitute; 1/4 cups Honey Or Agave; 1/4 cups Brown Sugar, Packed; 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract; 1/2 cups White Whole Wheat Flour; 3/4 cups Rolled Oats; 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda; 1/4 teaspoons Salt; 1/4 cups Pecans; 1/4 cups Dried Cranberries; 1/4 cups Chocolate Chips (optional)

Servings: persons

4 Tablespoons Earth Balance Non-hydrogenated Butter Substitute
1/4 cups Honey Or Agave
1/4 cups Brown Sugar, Packed
1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 cups White Whole Wheat Flour
3/4 cups Rolled Oats
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/4 cups Pecans
1/4 cups Dried Cranberries
1/4 cups Chocolate Chips (optional)

1
Preheat your oven to 350 .
2
In a bowl (I use a stand mixer), beat together the Earth Balance, honey or agave (see tip below), sugar and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.
3
Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
4
Add the chocolate chips, if you're using them, as well as most of the cranberries and pecans. Reserve some of the cranberries and pecans for the the tops of the cookies.
5
Roll the dough into golf-ball-sized balls and flatten slightly. Decorate with remaining pecans and cranberries.
6
Bake for 11 minutes. The longer you bake them, the harder/crisper they will be, so time them.
7
Tip: if you spray your measuring cup with a little oil before you measure the honey/agave, it will slide right out.

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.
