Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter browned
  • 1/2 cup Light Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/2 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 3 cups Oatmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 cup Raisins optional
  • 1 cup Toasted Pecans or Walnuts optional

Instructions

  • To brown butter: Put butter in a small sauce pan over medium high heat. Once butter has melted, continuously stir until you see it turn a caramel color. This generally takes 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Do not stop stirring or the butter solids will burn. The browned butter will add a nice depth of flavor to your cookies. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl, mix cooled butter, olive oil, honey and maple syrup until well combined. Add eggs one at a time and beat until combined.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, oatmeal, sea salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture until all combined.
  • If desired, mix in raisins and/or nuts.
  • Allow dough to chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Note: The chilling step is important. These cookies will not hold their shape very well if baked before the dough is chilled.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (lower than most cookie recipes due to the honey, which can burn more easily)
  • Scoop out cookies with a small ice cream scoop. Do not flatten the cookies. Because there is no baking powder in this recipe, this will help keep them from completely flattening out.
  • Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Devour while still warm. Enjoy!

Notes

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
