A quick and easy recipe for the upcoming festive season!

salted white chocolate oat cookies

ingredients
250g salted butter or normal butter with 1/2 tsp salt added
1 tsp vanilla extract
75g caster sugar
30g brown sugar
120g plain flour
120g spelt or rye flour
110g rolled oats
120g white chocolate, roughly chopped

how to
Place softened butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and use a hand beater to mix until fluffy.

Once fluffy, add spelt and flour and beat on low speed until combined. Repeat by adding rolled oats and chopped white chocolate. If necessary, use your hands or a spatula to mix all ingredients together.

Divide dough into two equal parts and place each part on a separate sheet of cling wrap. Form an even dough roll with your hands and cover in cling wrap. Place dough roll in the freezer/refrigerator for ca.45 minutes until firm.

Preheat oven to 150° Celsius.

Take one roll from the refrigerator and cut dough into 1cm wide pieces using a sharp knife. Don’t worry should the pieces fall apart. Simply press the dough together again and place the pieces on a baking tray – about 3cm apart – and bake for ca. 10-15 minutes until they are light brown around the edges.

Keep the second portion of dough in the freezer to satisfy spontaneous cookie cravings. Otherwise bake both batches at once. One batch provides enough dough for ca. 18 cookies.
