Oatmeal cookies

Hellooooo :) I want to share with you my latest discovery in the kitchen  - I was craving something sweet and I also wanted something more "healthy" so I thought of oatmeal.
Here is what you need for about 15 cookies:

- 2 cups of oatmeal flakes
- 1 cup flour
- 3 eggs
- 100 gr butter
- 1 cup sugar - you can mix vanilla sugar with brown sugar
- baking powder - one tea spoon
- jam


The rest is easy - you mix the eggs with sugar and gradually add the oatmeal flakes and flour. In a small glass, you prepare the baking powder with some lemon juice and add it in the bowl. It is up to you if you want to add more flavor - cinnamon, almond essence. etc. I made mine with cinnamon :)


I guess the hardest part is to choose the right amount of mix for one cookie and arrange it in the tray. So on a tray with baking paper, I tried to make some uniform shapes and added a bit of jam on top, like this:


Then I put the tray in the preheated oven. They should be there for max. 20-25 min

And the final result looks like this and works great with coffee and tea  :)



P.S: Let me know if you tried the recipe.
