Ingredients
Base dough
- 200 g Flour
- 110 g Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 Sachets Vanilla sugar
- 125 g Butter / margarine
- 1 Egg (or 1 teaspoon ground chia seeds + 50ml water)
- 6 tbsp Crunchy cereal
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 -3 tbsp Raisins, cranberries or other dried fruits
Chocolate Cookies
- 4 tbsp Chocolate Chunks or Drops (sort to taste)
Instructions
Base dough
- Put all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix. If you want to add spices such as cinnamon, clove, cardamom, etc., you can do it right now.
- Mix the ground chia seeds with the water (crack open the egg with a fork) and cut the room-temperature butter into pieces.
- Work everything into a soft dough with the dough hook.
Now you can pimp up the dough as you like!
- Simply stir the desired ingredients into the dough. My two varieties serve as a guide for the amount, which is nonetheless variable. Instead of the Chocolate Chunks, you could also take Smarties or other delicacies, for example. Crushed chocolate bars should also work.
- Try different nuts or maybe even pine, sunflower or pumpkin seeds. You can also experiment with dried fruits such as dates, figs, apricots, barberries, etc.
Portion and bake
- Now portion the dough. Either with two tablespoons or a small ice cream scoop. Mine were about the size of a walnut.
- Depending on what you have added to the dough, the cookies will spread apart. The ones with the chocolate chunks a lot more than the others. You have to pay attention to this when distributing it on the sheet. I recommend around 9 cookies per tray.
- Shape the dough a little and press it flat to about 5mm. As a test, I had formed eggs from the muesli cookies, which worked. That wouldn't work with the Chocolate Chunk Cookies, they melt too much.
- Now bake the cookies in the preheated oven at 175 ° top / bottom heat for about 12-15 minutes. The baking time depends on the size of the cookies and the desired tan. I take them out of the oven when the edges start to turn golden brown.
- The cookies are now still soft and break very easily. Therefore, let them cool down a little first and then carefully place them on a wire rack to let them cool down completely.
- My cookies are easy and quick to make and you can customize them to your own taste. Certainly also a delicious souvenir.
