Oat cookies with kefir
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Oat cookies made with kefir turn out tender, porous, airy, and incredibly filling. Just 2-3 cookies are enough to satisfy your hunger for a long time. Use quick-cooking oats—they won't need long to soak in the liquid. If desired, sprinkle the finished cookies with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Step 7
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease the paper with vegetable oil and place spoonfuls of batter onto the paper. Try to leave at least 2–3 cm between each portion, as the dessert will slightly expand during baking. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven.

Step 8
Bake the oat cookies with kefir for about 20 minutes. Baking time depends on your appliance's power and the size of the cookies. Check the cookies and turn off the oven when they turn golden brown. The cookies will be soft initially and become crisp after cooling. Place them on a plate and let cool for 10–15 minutes.
