Haferflockenkekse
Ingredients:
– 1 cup rolled oats
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing well until smooth and creamy.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft cookie dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour.
6. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.
7. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top of the cookies.
8. Bake the Haferflockenkekse in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
9. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Store the Haferflockenkekse in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days, if they last that long!
