Oatmeal cookies (simple recipe)

Description

Use regular oat flakes, not instant or hard varieties that require long cooking. Brown sugar, of course, gives the cookies a special caramel flavor, so try not to substitute it. You should end up with about 20-25 delicious cookies in half an hour. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

3. 3

4. 4

   Step 4

   Sift the flour, add it to the liquid ingredients in parts, and knead the dough. Then add the raisins.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Add the oat flakes at the very end, otherwise the dough will turn out tough. Shape into small balls and place them on parchment paper.

   Step 6

   Bake at 180 degrees for 9-10 minutes. The cookies should brown around the edges, while the center remains pale.
