Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, melted butter, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small portions of the oat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
- Flatten each portion of the oat mixture with the back of the spoon or the bottom of a glass. Aim for thin, round shapes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the oat cookies are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the havreflarn cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat the process with the remaining oat mixture, baking one batch at a time, until all the cookies are baked.
- Once the havreflarn are completely cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness. They can be enjoyed immediately or kept for several days.
