Ingredients
Flour mixture
 2 cups all purpose flour
 1 tsp baking soda
 1 tsp baking powder
 1 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

2

Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and mustard seed. Set aside.

3

Combine butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla and honey mustard with hand mixer on low. Increase speed to high and beat until fluffy and colour lightens.

4

Stir flour mixture into creamed mixture until no flour is visible. (Over-mixing results in a tough cookie.) Add oatmeal mixture. Stir to incorporate.

5

Drop tablespoons of batter 2 inches apart onto baking sheet, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

6

Bake 11-13 minutes on centre rack until golden and cookie is still moist beneath cracks on top. Remove from oven. Let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool. Store in airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
