Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips or raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the unsalted butter and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth. You can use a hand mixer or whisk for this step.
Add the egg, honey, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add the milk one tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
If desired, fold in the optional chocolate chips or raisins for added flavor and texture.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many cookies as possible.
Transfer the star-shaped cookies to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your Estrellas De Avena as a snack, dessert, or a fun breakfast treat!
