These Honey Oatmeal Cookies are made using melted butter and honey for a great flavour. They are a soft and delicate cookie that almost remind me of little muffins. Make a batch and stock your freezer for quick treats when the craving hits.

Hello friends! Are we still baking in the summer? I got to admit, I am doing zero baking right now and these cookies were made weeks ago. We are having a serious heat wave and it’s pretty impossible to turn on the oven. Life right is all about Summer Salads, No Cook Appetizers and pretty much anything that requires low effort. But if you are in cooler temps and enjoy a good cookie, these Honey Oatmeal Cookies are a great treat to enjoy any time of the year.

What Are These Cookies Like

• Difficulty – These cookies are super easy to make and require very little mixing. The dough does need to be chilled for two hours though, so keep this in mind before making them.
• Taste – These cookies are soft and spongy. These are much like the texture of Soft Lemon Cookies. If you are looking for a more crispy and chewy cookie, I’d recommend the Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies.
• Serving – This recipe made 45 regular sized cookies. Keep in mind, in the recipe card, you can easily scale the recipe up or down.

Ingredients

• Flour – These cookies use all purpose flour.
• Oats – These cookies use old fashioned oats.
• Baking soda – This helps provide structure and stability to cookies so they don’t fall apart. It also aids in the cookies rising slightly.
• Salt – Regular table salt is used and it helps enhance flavours in the cookies.
• Butter – These cookies use unsalted melted butter.
• Honey – I used regular liquid honey.
• Egg – I used two large eggs at room temperature for these cookies.
• Vanilla extract – Vanilla extract is possibly the most versatile and commonly used extract in baking. It adds flavour to the cookies.

NOTE, The full recipe and ingredient list can be found in the recipe card at the end of the end of the post.

Instructions

1. Combine dry ingredients – In a medium sized bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
2. Combine wet ingredients – In a large mixing bowl combine the melted butter, honey, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined, about one minute.
3. Finish cookie dough and chill – Add the flour mixture and the oats to the wet ingredients and stir in until it’s combined, about one minute. Cover and chill the cookie dough for two hours.
4. Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Line two large baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
5. Bake cookies – Drop the cookie dough by mounds on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake between 10 – 12 minutes until they are golden and puffed up a little.
6. Cool and store – Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool. Repeat for all cookies.

Recipe Tips

• Use room temperature ingredients – These cookies need to use room temperature eggs and butter. Soft butter incorporates better into cookie dough. And room temperature eggs come to full volume when mixed.
• Space apart on cookie sheet – I placed eight cookies on the baking tray at a time to make sure the cookie dough didn’t spread into each other when baked.
• Watch baking time – These cookies baked at 11 minutes in my oven. Keep an eye on them as they make take a minute or two more.

Storage

• At room temperature – You can keep these cookies in an airtight container for about 2 – 3 days on the counter.
• In the fridge – Store these cookies in an airtight container and layer parchment paper between the layers. They will keep fresh for about 3 – 4 days.
• Freeze from fresh – If you want to freeze these cookies, freeze them when they have cooled down. Just place them in a freezer proof container or bag. They will keep for about three months in the freezer.
• Give as a gift – You can stack them and wrap them in cellophane, put them on a tray or in a little bag. Just make sure your friends know how long they will keep fresh!
