Mormors Havrekjeks | Grandma’s Oatmeal Cookies

August 1, 2020 By Therese Leave a Comment

These cookies are crisp and aromatic with a beautiful taste of oats.

These traditional Oatmeal Cookies had been with my grandmother for a long time. I found it while looking through her recipe book from 1938- and I just had to try it. Quite incredible to be baking something that she baked in a whole other life. Little did she know that her book would end up in my kitchen- or maybe she did know, or hoped that one of her kids or grandkids would take her traditions on one day.Norwegian oatmeal cookies might not be as your typical American ones. They are not as sweet and is more commonly used with a knob of butter or a slice of brown cheese next to your cup of black coffee. They are also crisp all the way through.

The trick with these cookies is to get the dough thin enough for them to turn out crispy and delicious. Don’t worry though, if they happen to be too thick, they will still be delicious.

Oatmeal Cookies.

250 g wheat flour

250 g quick oats

70 g sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

2,5 dl milk

125 g butter, melted

1 tsp baking soda

  1. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees celcius.
  2. Mix everything together in a bowl until well blended and roll out on a floury surface. About 2 mm thick.
  3. Stick out with a glass or a cookie cutter and transfer to a baking tray.
  4. Prick holes with a fork and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until golden.
  5. Let cool before storing in a dry place.
  6. Enjoy with butter, cheese or brown cheese (jam is good too).

Nordic Cuisine

The best way to understand the Nordic region’s food culture is more than a trip to Ikea- it’s understanding our traditions, our nature and our people.

Nordic cuisine has never been extravagant, nor has it been fancy- it can best be described with the words of my favorite cafe in Oslo; “By serving a simple slice of waffle with strawberry jam and brown cheese with a cup of coffee on the side”. Nordic cuisine is known to be simple and with few ingredients- ingredients from the areas where we live and the lands surrounding us- like the woods, the sea, the mountains and the fjords. A blend between fresh, seasonal and preserved flavors- often put in jars and stored away in a dark pantry somewhere on a farm- only to be enjoyed and devoured throughout the seasons.

Food is one of the most important things we have in life- and we should all have enough knowledge about food to be able to live a long and happy life. It should not be a burden- nor should it be boring. Food should be something that makes you thrive to be able to live the life you want, it should bring people together in the most wonderful way and last but not least- it should be fun.
