Preparation Time
Total Time: 40 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients :
1 cup (90g) of oats
½ cup (50g) of cranberries
Zest of 1 lemon
¼ cup (30g) of chopped walnuts
¼ cup (35g) of chopped dates
1 egg
2 tablespoons (30g) of melted butter
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (360°F). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or using a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of oats, ½ cup of cranberries, the zest of 1 lemon, ¼ cup of chopped walnuts, and ¼ cup of chopped dates. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add
2 tablespoons of melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until everything is evenly mixed. The dough should be moist but not overly sticky.
Shape the Cookies: Use a tablespoon to scoop heaping portions of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down gently on each cookie with the back of the spoon to flatten them slightly.
Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until they are firm and golden brown.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them firm up and develop their final texture.
