Ginger Orange Oat Cookies | Butter-Free Cookies Sweetened with Honey

In a bowl, mix the rolled oats, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the olive oil, honey, and egg, then add the grated ginger and orange zest. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.

Cover the dough and let it rest on the counter for 10 minutes; this allows the oats to absorb the liquid so the cookies hold their shape.

Scoop tablespoon-size portions of dough, flatten them slightly with your hands, and arrange them spaced apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake in an oven preheated to 170°C / 340°F for 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
