Ingredients
3/4cupbutter, softened1 1/2 sticks
3/4cupmaple syrup
2eggs
1tspvanilla extract
1 1/2cupswhole white wheat flour
1tspbaking soda
1tspground cinnamon
1/2tspsalt
3cupsrolled oatsnot the quick cooking kind
1cupchopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In your stand mixer, whisk butter and maple syrup on medium speed until creamy. It might look a little weird for a second but it will come together. Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
In a second bowl, combine whole white wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix until uniform. Slowly pour into the butter mixture, mixing on low until combined.
Switch to the paddle attachment, or using a rubber spatula, add oats and additional add-ins (if using); fold into the dough until combined.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool for a minute on cookie sheets so they don't fall apart when you move them. Then move to wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
