I am not the cereal 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 far 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! Granola (Muesli) Cookies!

These cookies are some kind of experiment I did some time ago… No, not like the ones Frankenstein does with his creatures. Much easier and less frightening, I’d say.

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?

Cookie Friday | Bake to the roots

It’s actually quite obvious to make cookies if you really think about it. After all, there are plenty of cookie recipes that include oats and/or raisins. So, reaching for muesli, which contains both oats and dried fruit, as a substitute isn’t really such a huge leap. In other words, I haven’t exactly reinvented the wheel with these muesli cookies. Still, I’m glad to have found a solution to my muesli problem… if you could even call it a problem.

Well. Now you finally have a great option for what to do with leftover muesli. A great option where you don’t necessarily need milk, oat drink, or something similar just to get it down. By the way, to extend their shelf life, these cookies freeze beautifully. Simply toss them into a freezer bag, pop them in the freezer, and pull one out whenever the craving strikes… Easy-peasy.

INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

(26-30 cookies)

1 cup (230g) butter, at room temperature
1 cup (200g) brown sugar*
1/4 cup (50g) sugar (fine)*
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) muesli/granola (e.g. with rolled oats, fruits, chocolate)

(26-30 Cookies)

230g weiche Butter
200g brauner Zucker*
50g Zucker (fein)*
2 Eier (L)
1 EL Vanille Extrakt*

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Add the soft butter and both sugars to a large bowl and mix on high until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one after another and mix well after each addition. Next, add the vanilla extract and mix. Combine flour, baking powder and salt, add it to the bowl and mix until just combined. Finally, add the müsli/granola and fold it in. The dough will be quite sticky, but that is fine. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line three baking sheets with baking parchment and set them aside. Place small portions of dough (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per cookie) on the baking sheets with enough space inbetween. Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes. The edges should have browned lightly, but the centers should still be a bit soft. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then let them cool down completely on a wire rack.

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

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

2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze 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. Die Cookies für etwa 12-15 Minuten backen. Die Cookies sollten an den Rändern leicht Farbe bekommen haben, in der Mitte dürfen 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 drei 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!

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. ;)
