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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the oats, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, and flour. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 4

Add the melted butter and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers have just set.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve the Havregrynskager as is or sandwich two cookies together with melted chocolate for an indulgent treat.
