    </ingredients>
    <directions>Preheat oven to 300 degrees. 

Seed jalapenos and remove all membrane, finely mince and set aside. (Latex gloves are suggested so you don’t spread the jalapeno love all over the kitchen.) 

Mix the flour, soda, oats, and salt thouroughly in a large bowl. 

In a larger bowl blend the sugars together. 

Add the butter and mix to a paste like consistency. 

Scrape down the bowl and add the honey, vanilla, and eggs. 

Mix at a medium speed until fluffy.

Add in the flour mixture, craisins and jalapeno, blend at low speed. 
Aim for a uniform consistency, but don’t overmix at this point. 

Drop cookies by rounded Tbl onto ungreased cookie sheets 1 1/2″ apart.

Bake for 25-27 min. 

Transfer cookies to a cool flat surface directly from the oven and allow them to cool.</directions>
