Ingredients

½ cup light or dark brown sugar
4 tablespoon butter, softened
¼ cup raw cane sugar
½ cup honey or agave nectar
2 egg whites
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 cup rolled oats
½ cup mixed dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, blueberries, etc.)
½ cup mixed seeds and/or nuts (pumpkin, sunflower, etc.)
¼ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the brown sugar, butter, and cane sugar together until smooth. Add the honey and egg whites, then scrape down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula, and continue to mix for another minute.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture with the oats to the mixer and continue mixing until just combined. Last, add the fruit, seeds, and chocolate chips. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between the cookies. Bake until the cookies are lightly browned and they release from the parchment, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
