Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Oats
- 150 grams Butter
- 150 grams Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 25 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Set it aside to cool slightly.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the oats, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, and flour. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the melted butter and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a sticky dough forms.
Using a teaspoon, drop small, evenly spaced spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving plenty of space between each to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers have just set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Havregrynskager as is or sandwich two cookies together with melted chocolate for an indulgent treat.
