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

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Flatten each portion of the oat mixture with the back of the spoon or the bottom of a glass. Aim for thin, round shapes.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the oat cookies are golden brown.
6. 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.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining oat mixture, baking one batch at a time, until all the cookies are baked.
8. 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.
