Step 1

Position a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 325°F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper or generously grease or coat with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the butter until fluid over medium heat, stirring. Remove from the heat.

Step 3

Stir the sugar, honey, and salt into the butter. Continue stirring the mixture, mashing out any lumps of sugar until completely smooth. Thoroughly stir in the oats and baking powder.

Step 4

Stir the flour into the dough until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Scoop up the dough and drop in even 1 1/2-inch mounds (a medium cookie scoop works perfect), spacing at least 2 inches apart. If garnishing with flaky salt, add a few crystals to the cookie tops.

Step 6

Bake (middle rack) one sheet at a time for 10 to 13 minutes or until the cookies are brown at the edges and lightly tinged on top; watch carefully, as they may brown very rapidly at the end. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks. Let the cookies firm up for about 2 minutes. Using a wide spatula, transfer the cookies to the wire racks. Let cool completely.
