Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
- 1/4 cup dried fruit
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond butter, and honey. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a cohesive mixture.
- Add vanilla extract and cinnamon to the mixture, stirring to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the base.
- Fold in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and dried fruit, ensuring they are distributed equally throughout the dough.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into 12 equal-sized balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon to create a rounded disk shape, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, which will help them achieve the perfect chewy texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can prepare the cookie dough the night before and store it in the fridge. Just scoop and bake in the morning for fresh cookies!
- Customize Your Mix-Ins: Feel free to get creative with your add-ins! Substitute almond butter with peanut butter, or swap out the dried fruit for your favorites like raisins or cranberries.
- Watch the Baking Time: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. You want them to be golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center for that perfect chewy texture.
- Chill for Extra Chewiness: For an even chewier cookie, consider chilling the formed cookie dough balls for about 30 minutes before baking.
- Storage Tips: To maintain freshness, store your cookies in an airtight container. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the baked cookies and thaw them as needed.
- Enjoy Warm: These cookies are best enjoyed warm from the oven, so don’t hesitate to pop one in the microwave for a few seconds before indulging!
