**Muesli Cookies**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup muesli mix (with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit)
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup honey
– 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 mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, muesli mix, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a cookie dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more flour.
6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
7. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to your desired thickness.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
9. Once done, 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. Serve these delightful Muesli Cookies alongside your favorite hot beverage or enjoy them as a quick pick-me-up snack throughout the day.
These Muesli Cookies are a wonderful combination of crunchiness from the nuts and seeds, chewiness from the dried fruit, and sweetness from the honey and brown sugar.
