Oatmeal cookies

Ingredients for 50 servings:

• 500 g oat flakes, wholegrain
• 250 g butter
• 200 g sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 50 g flour

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

If the oats are particularly large, crumble them slightly with your hands beforehand. Heat the butter and pour it over the oats, stirring well. In the meantime, beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar until frothy. Pour the mixture over the oats along with the flour and baking powder and mix everything together with a spoon. Using two spoons, place small heaps of the mixture on the baking sheet and bake at 180-190°C for about 15 minutes. The cookies should still be light yellow and soft. Remove from the baking sheet immediately, preferably with a spatula. Note on the eggs: use either 2 large or 3 small/medium eggs. Add a little more flour if necessary. The mixture should be homogeneous; the mixture should not run away from the oats. Variation: Leave out the flour for now and divide the mixture in half. To one half, add about half the specified flour and baking powder and a dash of rum or the seeds of a vanilla pod. For the other half, replace the flour with cocoa and spices (cinnamon, cloves, etc.).
