Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup honey (you could do half honey, half brown sugar if the heavy sweetness of honey seems like too much); ½ cup butter; 1 egg; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 1 tablespoon milk; 1 cup whole wheat flour; ½ teaspoon baking soda; ½ teaspoon baking powder; ½ teaspoon kosher salt; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; ½ teaspoon ground ginger; ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (I actually don't measure nutmeg, just have a go at it with my Microplane until I think it smells nut); 1 cup oats, generous cup (thick rolled are best for chewy cookies, quick cooking oats leave you with wimpy cookies); 1 orange, zest of (totally optional, but it gives the cookies a nice fragrance and flavor in addition to the chocolate) (optional); 1 cup chocolate chips (I've used dark chocolate, white chocolate, even Skor bits or Heath chips, all are sublime)

Servings: persons

1 cup honey (you could do half honey, half brown sugar if the heavy sweetness of honey seems like too much)
½ cup butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (I actually don't measure nutmeg, just have a go at it with my Microplane until I think it smells nut)
1 cup oats, generous cup (thick rolled are best for chewy cookies, quick cooking oats leave you with wimpy cookies)
1 orange, zest of (totally optional, but it gives the cookies a nice fragrance and flavor in addition to the chocolate) (optional)
1 cup chocolate chips (I've used dark chocolate, white chocolate, even Skor bits or Heath chips, all are sublime)

1
Cream the butter and honey together in the bowl of a stand mixer (it can also be done with a hand mixer or a wooden spoon if you're feeling ambitious and particularly strong).
2
Add the egg (if you're doing this with a wooden spoon, it's best to beatthe egg prior to adding), vanilla and milk and stir until it's all combined and creamy.
3
In a small bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together and then add them to the wet batter.
4
Stir to incorporate.
5
Add oats, orange zest and chocolate chips.
6
Mix.
7
On a Silpat or parchment paper lined cookie sheet (seriously, invest in one of these options) spoon out the cookie batter.
8
I use about a tablespoon per cookie.
9
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are nicely browned.
