Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
¼ cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups quick oats
1 cup candied orange peel
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to cream together the flour, baking soda, brown sugar, cocoa, butter, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Next, fold in the oats, 3/4 cup of the candied orange, and chocolate chips.
Using a small cookie scoop, or ice cream scoop, to create mounds of cookie batter, position each cookie about two inches apart on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet.
Top each cookie mound with a few pieces of the remaining candied orange.
Bake for 14 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool down.
