Looking for classic, comforting flavors in a chewy, soft cookie?
This is your cookie.
We took a basic oat drop-style cookie and added the comforting, holiday flavors of cinnamon and honey. These cookies beg to go with tea, hot cocoa or even milk left for Santa on Christmas Eve.
Want more bang for your buck?
Try adding dried fruit and nuts, too. Golden raisins and peanuts would be a great combination.
Cinnamon-honey oat drop cookies
1cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1cup packed brown sugar
1/2cup honey
1teaspoon vanilla extract
4eggs
21/4cups all-purpose flour
1teaspoon baking soda
1/2teaspoon salt
11/2teaspoons cinnamon, divided
21/2cups old fashioned oats
1/4cup granulated sugar
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, brown sugar, honey and vanilla. With the mixer running, add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl in between additions.
Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Stir in the oats.
Scoop by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Using a slightly moistened hand, flatten the cookies until 1/2inch thick.
In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle lightly over the top of each cookie.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer glossy and just starting to turn golden brown at the edges. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
