April in Nebraska, and the air smells fresh with wild plum, dandelion and chokecherry blooms. Our honeybees and this year’s hatch of our Native pollinator insects welcome Spring as they sip nectar in the early blooms.
I greet Spring with the nourishing and tasty Chocolate Chip Honey Oatmeal Cookie. As you see in the photo, this cookie deserves a place at the breakfast table and any-time snack.
Buzz Savories local and hand-packed honey makes a soft cookie that keeps its fresh flavor and soft texture for weeks in a closed container. Easy to make, I sometimes use regular oatmeal and buzz it in my food processor to produce a finer texture then also feel free to switch whole wheat flour with regular flour.
The ideal cookie is soft in the center. I have learned it is easy to over-bake, and now I carefully time the baking according to the directions on the recipe for this exceptional Honey Oatmeal Cookie.
