Well-being cookies for the winter time
Lena from Mein leckeres Leben (My Delicious Life) has come up with a new recipe for the Christmas time:
And this is how it's done.
INGREDIENTS (for about 60 pieces)
- 250 g soft butter
- 150 g brown raw cane sugar
- 2 organic eggs
- 1 organic orange, zest
- 200 g spelled flour
- 50 g fine oat flakes
- 50 g walnuts or hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon of tartar baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 200 g dark chocolate
METHOD
- Mix the softened butter with the sugar until creamy.
- Gradually mix in the eggs.
- Rub the peel of the organic orange or cut it into very fine pieces. Add the orange peel to the butter mixture.
- Mix the flour with the oatmeal, coarsely chopped nuts, baking powder and salt. Add the mixture to the cookie dough and stir in.
- Chop the chocolate and finally mix in.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes or, best of all, freeze it.
- Preheat the oven to 180 ° C hot air. Remove portions of the cookie dough with a teaspoon, shape into balls and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper (keep distance between them).
- Bake in the hot oven for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool down.
- Enjoy with hot cocoa, tea or coffee.
