Ingredients  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup chocolate morsels
  • 1/4 cup dried cherries
  • greek yogurt

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and honey until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and mix to combine.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the raisins, walnuts, sunflower seeds, chocolate morsels, and dried cherries.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon measure, drop the dough onto Silpat- or parchment-lined baking sheets. Using the back of the ice cream scoop or the palm of your hand, gently press the dough down into disks. (They won’t spread during baking.)
  • Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Tip: To make giant nature cookies, you can use a 1/4 cup measure and add 5 minutes to the baking time.
