How to Make Bryte Havrekaka Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (113g) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add 2 cups (200g) rolled oats and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Once the oatmeal has cooled, gently stir it into the egg and sugar mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Preheat your oven to 300-325°F (150-160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Start checking for doneness at the 12-minute mark. Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
