Every adult knows about the beneficial properties of oatmeal, because every adult was once a child who was fed with “Hercules”. It is precisely childhood memories that cause, to put it mildly, dislike for oatmeal.

If you, too, “suffered” from the Hercules, but do not want to remove from the diet of your family a really useful product, pay attention to the oatmeal cookies. It can not replace breakfast or lunch, like oatmeal, but then it is much tastier and will not get bored after three days.

For the dough, crushed flakes are needed, but it is better not to buy instant porridge for this purpose, but to grind ordinary oatmeal, that same Hercules, in a blender.

Cookies made according to this recipe turn out to be very similar to cookies from the store, but more tender and with a pronounced honey flavor.

  • 100 g of butter
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp. l honey
  • 2 tbsp. oatmeal
  • 1 tbsp. wheat flour

7. During baking, the biscuits will rise and the irregularities on its surface will smooth out, but still, to get the same round baking, you should correct the shape of each cake by moistening your hands with water. If it is not necessary to put all the cookies on one baking sheet, spread the dough at a great distance from each other, otherwise the baking cake will merge the neighboring cakes.
