Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Prepare baking sheet: Lightly butter a large cookie sheet, or for optimal results, line it with parchment paper.

Cream butter and honey: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and honey until smooth and well combined.

Allow dough to rest: Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the oats to absorb moisture.

Shape the cookies: Using a melon-baller or spoon, scoop out portions of the dough. Press the mixture against the side of the bowl to compact it, then gently transfer the shaped cookies onto the prepared cookie sheet.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are just lightly browned around the edges.
