How to Make Swedish Oatmeal Cookies - Havreflarn

 

How to Make Swedish Oatmeal Cookies - Havreflarn 

Havreflarn are sweet flat crisps based on oat flakes. These are much thinner than the American oatmeal cookies. We truly enjoy the truly buttery chewiness that this cookie offers. This recipe is so simple because it only requires 5 easy ingredients. 😀

Ingredients

• 1/2 a cup of sugar 
• 1/4 cup of flour
• 1/2 a cup of butter
• 3/4 cup of quick cooking oats
• 2 tbsp of light cream 

Directions

1. Preheat oven at 375F.
2. Grease and flour baking sheets. You want to do this first because the recipe goes quickly.
3. Combine in a bowl the oats, sugar and flour.
4. Melt butter in a sauce pan.
5. Add oat mixture and light cream into the pot and let it cook. Stir constantly. Until mixture starts to bubble. Remove from heat and stir briskly.
6. Drop teaspoons of the dough onto the baking sheet. About 4 inches apart. If you want to make larger cookies than use a heaping teaspoon for a bigger flatter cookie. To make the cookies flatter you can use the back of a spoon or knife and press the dough down. Do this quickly because the dough will get hard.
7. Bake 5 to 6 cookies at a time for about 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown.
8. Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes. Remove carefully with a flipper.
9. The cookies might not have the perfect circle shape. Instead the cookies might have more of a rustic look.

Serve with milk, coffee, or tea
