Ingredients
Ingredients:Dry ingredients1 cup whole wheat flour (a pinch more depending on the moisture of the mix)1 1/2 cups of Large Flake Rolled Oats (smaller flake is ok too)1/2 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt1 Tbsp Cinnamon (I actually use about 3 Tbsp--got to love cinnamon)1/2 tsp Nutmeg (optional)Wet ingredients1/2 cup honey1/2 cup oil (corn, grapeseed or olive) * you can also use some applesauce to replace some of the oil if you wish*1 Tablespoon Molasses1 egg (beat with 1 Tbsp Water)1 tsp VanillaYummy ingredients1/2 cup raisins (1 cup for my Dad's batch)1/2 cup walnuts (more for my Dad's)!!
Directions
Preparation:

In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
In a medium bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. Hint: when measuring out the honey, spray the measuring cup with oil or baking spray--your honey won't stick).
Mix the wet stuff with the dry stuff. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together very well, you may wish to add an egg white.
COOL the mix for 20 minutes in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 335 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the recipe which will burn more easily).
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet (I recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper). Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking.
Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie. The cookies freeze very well and make a great snack! Enjoy.
