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
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)
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
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.
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.
