Oatmeal – the cookie

The cookies remind me of ‘Lembas’, the elfen made bread that the Hobbits took on their quest to get rid of the ring in Mount Doom, surviving on thin orky air and Lembas. Equally replenishing for quests as marking 300 open ended exam questions by noon. They sell these cookies at the coffee corner at work, and they are ridiculously easy to make.

Simple oatmeal cookie, with ingredients: butter, egg, sugar, oatmeal, flour, raisins, cinnamon and some salt on top.

Translated this recipe (http://bakerbettie.com/perfect-oatmeal-raisin-cookies-with-only-6-ingredients/)from cups to grams and Fahrenheit to Celcius. I kept the cookies in the oven twice as long as the original recipe, but this made them into tasty bricks. They are supposed to be soft when you take them out of the oven.

Ingredients:

115 g butter

220 g dark sugar

1 egg

145 g flour

130 g rolled oats

100 g raisins

1 tsp cinnamon

Salt

Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Melt butter and mix with sugar and egg untill smooth. Mix in flour. Add oatmeal, cinnamon and raisins. Form balls on a baking sheet, squeeze ‘m, until evenly flat. Place in the oven, for about 10 minutes. The original recipe says 9 minutes, and I need to repeat the recipe to be sure of the right time.

The bricks became a bit more soft after a day. Still tasty and rewarding. The second batch was done at 10 minutes, and still had a chewwy texture. Perfect.
