The history of these cookies is truly inspiring. Cookies, in general, were created as a practical solution for having a portable and long-lasting snack, and the combination of ingredients you will use today reflects modern trends of healthy eating.

Necessary ingredients:

- 100 g muesli flour (you can obtain flour from muesli using a food processor)
- 150 g whole wheat flour
- 50 ml honey
- 50 g brown sugar
- 25 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 70 g raisins
- 70 g butter (at room temperature)
- 30 g ground walnuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Half a teaspoon of salt

Step by step for a perfect result:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This will make mixing easier and help achieve a uniform texture. Measure the ingredients accurately, as every gram counts in this recipe.

2. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, muesli flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well with a whisk to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Preparing the dough: Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture and rub it with your fingers until you achieve a crumbly texture. This step is essential to ensure soft cookies.

4. Incorporating the wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the egg, honey, brown sugar, milk, and olive oil. You can use a mixer or a whisk to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients, along with the raisins and ground walnuts. Mix gently until all ingredients are incorporated. You will obtain a sticky dough, but don't worry, this is a sign of a successful cookie.

5. Shaping the cookies: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon, place portions of dough on the tray, leaving enough space between each cookie, as they will spread while baking. If you want larger and fluffier cookies, you can use a larger portion of dough for each cookie.

6. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for about 15 minutes. Be careful, as the cookies bake quickly! When they turn golden at the edges, they are ready. Let them cool slightly on the tray before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Tips and useful advice:

- You can replace the nuts with hazelnuts or almonds, depending on your preferences. Also, raisins can be replaced with dried cranberries for a tangier taste.
- If you desire a more intense flavor, add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the dry ingredient mixture.
- The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, but they are so tasty that they will surely be consumed quickly.
