Treat your ingredients with care...
- Slovenian oats — If you can't find Slovenian oats, you can substitute them with regular rolled oats. However, Slovenian oats have a slightly nuttier flavor, which adds to the unique taste of these cookies.
- Slovenian honey — Look for high-quality Slovenian honey to get the authentic flavor. If Slovenian honey is not available, you can use any other good-quality honey as a substitute.
Tips & Tricks
- For a more pronounced nutty flavor, lightly toast the Slovenian oats before using them in the recipe.
- If you prefer a softer texture, slightly underbake the cookies and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Add a handful of dried cranberries or raisins to the dough for a burst of sweetness and tanginess.
- Experiment with different types of nuts, such as almonds or pecans, for added variety.
- Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the cooled cookies for an extra touch of indulgence.
