Ingredients
Scale
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, raisins, shredded coconut, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a sweeter cookie, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the dough.
Feel free to customize the mix-ins with your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
