Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • 2 Parchment paper
  • Saucepan
  • Rubber spatula
  • Food processor or a blender

Ingredients

  • 70 g unsalted butter cold is fine
  • 50 g white granulated sugar
  • 50 g light brown sugar
  • 30 g honey
  • 30 g heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 20 g all purpose
  • 120 g rolled oats pulsed in a food processor several times

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine the butter, white and brown sugar, honey, and heavy cream in a saucepan. Warm it over medium heat, stirring now and then, until the butter melts. Let the mixture come to a boil, then take it off the heat.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  • Add the flour and ground oats and mix until smooth. The batter will be very runny. Transfer it to a clean bowl and let it sit for about 5 minutes so it cools slightly and thickens.
  • Scoop 16 to 18 portions, about 2 teaspoons each, onto the prepared sheets. Leave plenty of space for spreading, since these cookies like to stretch their legs.
  • Bake one sheet at a time for about 10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through if your oven runs hot in spots, until the cookies have spread, stopped bubbling, and turned golden at the edges.
  • Take the cookies out of the oven. If you want them perfectly round, use a large round cookie cutter to gently nudge the edges into shape.
  • Slide the parchment onto a countertop and let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Peel them off the paper and move them to a rack to cool completely before serving.
