Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and honey until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes on medium-high. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until pale and fluffy, about 2 more minutes. Slowly beat in flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until dry and wet ingredients are incorporated.
Using a wooden spatula, stir in cooked quinoa, oats, and chocolate chips just until combined. Cover and chill 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll dough into 1 TB rounded balls. Place onto prepared baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Slightly press down on each ball to flatten just a bit.
Bake about 8-10 minutes or until golden and puffed, yet soft. Cookies might seem a bit underbaked, but they will set upon cooling. After a few minutes, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Cooled cookies may be wrapped airtight and frozen for 2-3 weeks. Be sure the 1 cup of quinoa is already cooked, not raw. Follow package instructions for cooking.
