Delightfully crisp and irresistibly golden, Havregrynskager is a classic Danish oat cookie recipe that perfectly balances simplicity and indulgence. Made with wholesome oats, a touch of creamy butter, and the warm sweetness of vanilla sugar, these delicate cookies come together in just 20 minutes, making them an ideal treat for busy days or impromptu gatherings. As they bake, the dough spreads into thin, lacy rounds with a satisfyingly crunchy texture and rich, buttery flavor. Serve them on their own for a light snack or take them to the next level by pairing two cookies with a drizzle of melted chocolate for an elegant twist. Whether you're a fan of Scandinavian desserts or simply love easy homemade cookies, Havregrynskager is guaranteed to be a hit in any cookie jar.
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.
