1 1/4 cups (5 3/8 ounces) white whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups (4 3/8 ounces) old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup (9 ounces) pure maple syrup
6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

1
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the flour, the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.

Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator until very firm, 1 hour.

Position a rack in both the upper and lower thirds of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Sprinkle with turbinado sugar if using.

Bake until lightly golden on the outside but still slightly soft in the centers, about 12 minutes, being careful to not over-bake.

Cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
