Honey Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies
"These cookies use honey instead of white granulated sugar. Also, 100% whole wheat flour used instead of all purpose flour. Tempature is lowered on purpose beacause honey burns at higher tempatures. This is suppose to be a healthier alternative to cookies made with white sugar."

I am making the honey whole wheat oatmeal cookies. The recipe calls for 2 cups flour plus 2 TBLS flour. Do I use the 2 TBLS to dust the raisins or does it go into the total recipe flour?

Very good cookie, especially in the large ice cream scoop size suggested (I made some smaller and they weren't as nice). I used coconut oil instead of butter and chocolate chips instead of raisins. I've been looking for a no-white-sugar cookie with wheat flour, this is it! :) Yum! -
This is a wonderful recipe that we will make again and again. We usually do not have sugar or white flour in the house, honey and whole wheat we always have. The final cookie does spread some so give them room when putting them on pans. They almost remind me of a muffin top when just cool enough to eat, though as they cool they do crispt up a little. -
These are fantastic "breakfast" cookies! (Why not? They have less sugar than instant oatmeal!) Came out crispy, but got soft and crumbly again when cool...but still yummy! Definitely a "big scoop" cookie! I substituted pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon, choopped dried cranberries for the raisins and orange juice for the milk (I was out). I also threw in a teaspoon of orange zest. -
These are awesome, I didn't have the molasses so just did a full cup of honey and they were great. Next time I'll get the molasses ahead of time and try it that way too! -
Bland like Oatmeal. I used almost 7/8 C. Honey, 1 tsp. cinnamon too. I didn't add the additional 2 T. of flour, like that's going to make up for the dryness and add something. Added 1/2 C. nuts. This recipe is crying out for flavor. Might need a chocolate piece on top! Or save your ingredients for a good cookie recipe.

These are absolutely DELICIOUS! It is very hard to find sugar-free recipes that also do not use artificial sweeteners, and the majority of the ones I have found are not very good. I used heavy whipping cream in place of milk (since I needed to use it) and also Scottish oatmeal, and I am VERY pleased with the results! Just BRILLIANT!! Thanks! :) -
I tried this recipe last night, followed the recipe exactly. These cookies turned out AMAZING! Using an ice cream scoop, this recipe made 24 large cookies. I just recently began a lifestyle change and am eliminating white flour and white sugar from my diet. It is has not been the easiest search to find dessert recipes that don't call for white flour or white sugar, AND that will actually taste good. This will be my go to recipe for oatmeal cookies from now on! I agree this is a great breakfast cookie. I think I will also try this recipe using dark chocolate instead of raisins. Thank you so much! My husband loves them. =)
