    I am not the cereals kind of breakfast type. I prefer a bread roll with some cold cuts over muesli or other stuff. Only eggs and bacon could keep me away from my bread rolls – but that is way too much effort in the morning, so that is not a real option ;) You are probably asking yourself, what is the connection here to Cookie Friday? Well… see for yourself!

    These cookies are some kind of experiment I did some time ago… no not like the ones Frankenstein does with his creatures… easier and less frightening ;P

    Since I am not eating that much cereals at home, but still having them in case I really want them (be prepared for everything!) – I had a half package of muesli I did not want to eat anymore but also did not want to throw… well what can you do instead? Make cookies, right! It is pretty obvious actually – there are so many recipes out there with rolled oats or raisins – why not use a muesli that contains oats and dried fruits? Exactly. I have to say – it is my favorite way now to eat my muesli now – not only in the morning but all day :)

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • English
    • Deutsch
    (26-30 cookies)

    1 cup (230g) butter, at room temperature
    1 cup (200g) brown sugar
    1/4 cup (50g) sugar
    2 large eggs, at room temperature
    1 tbsp. vanilla extract
    1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. salt
    15.5 oz. (450g) müsli (e.g. with rolled oats, fruits, chocolate)

    (26-30 Cookies)

    230g weiche Butter
    200g brauner Zucker
    50g Zucker
    2 Eier (L)
    1 EL Vanille Extrakt
    190g Mehl (Type 405)
    1 TL Backpulver
    1/2 TL Salz
    450g Müsli (z.B. mit Haferflocken, Früchten, Schokolade)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. In a large bowl add the soft butter and sugars and beat on high speed until fluffy. Add the eggs and mix on high speed until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix. Mix flour, baking powder and salt and mix until just combined. Add the müsli and fold in. The dough will be quite sticky, but that is fine. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line three baking sheets with baking parchment and set aside. Place small balls of dough (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per cookie) on the baking sheets with enough space inbetween. Bake for 12-15 minutes – the edges should have browned lightly, but the centers should be still bit soft. Take out of the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then completely on a wire rack.

    Tip: Cookies stay fresh in a glass jar loosely covered at room temperature up to 10 days. You can also freeze them – up to three months.

    1. In einer großen Schüssel die weiche Butter und die beiden Zucker auf höchster Stufe luftig aufschlagen. Eier zugeben und mixen, bis sich alles gut verbunden hat. Vanille Extrakt zugeben und verrühren. Mehl, Backpulver und Salz mischen und in die Schüssel geben – nur so viel rühren, bis es sich gerade so verbunden hat. Müsli zugeben und unterheben. Der Teig wird recht klebrig sein, aber das ist ok. Die Schüssel mit Plastikfolie abdecken und für 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Drei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Kleine Portionen Teig (etwa 1 1/2 EL) auf die Bleche setzen – auf genügend Platz dazwischen achten. Für 12-15 Minuten backen – an den Seiten sollten die Cookies leicht Farbe bekommen haben, in der Mitte sollten sie aber noch etwas weich sein. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und noch etwa 5 Minuten auf den Blechen stehen liegen lassen, dann auf ein Kuchengitter legen und komplett auskühlen lassen.

    Tipp: Die Cookies bleiben z.B. in einem Glasbehälter der nicht luftdicht schliesst bis zu 10 Tagen frisch. Man kann sie auch gut einfrieren, dann halten sie bis zu 3 Monate.

      I baked the cookies yesterday. The only change I made to the recipe is the amount of sugar – I used 130g of brown sugar as I do not like the cookies to be very sweet. I also used unsweetened müsli with dried fruits. Next time I will add some chopped hazelnuts into the mixture for flavour.
      The cookies turned out delicious.
      Thank you for the recipe.
      Best wishes!

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
