Guys, I have already decided that these are going to be my holiday Coronapocalypse Christmas cookies. The whole year pretty much sucked, the holidays are probably gonna be super weird, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t have some amazing cookies. These are super delicious, easy to make (Doh! What did you expect to see on this blog?!) and look really festive thanks to the dried cranberry and chocolate combo.

Just a small note, though. The dried cranberries I used have plenty of sugar, so take this fact into the account if you are using a sugar-free version of dried fruits.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields about 20 cookies / 0.08 EUR per cookie / 1.53 EUR for all)

1 cup oat flour (0.10 EUR)

½ cup whole-wheat flour (0.05 EUR)

4 tbsp brown sugar (0.13 EUR)

½ tsp cinnamon (0.03 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

½ tsp baking powder (0.01 EUR)

½ cup chopped dried cranberries (0.40 EUR)

½ cup dark chocolate chips or chocolate chunks (0.67 EUR)

¼ cup neutral oil (0.10 EUR)

¼ cup water (–)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract (0.03 EUR)

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together both flours, sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, cranberries and chocolate until all ingredients are well combined. Add in the oil, water and vanilla, then stir until a uniform dough is formed. If needed, add in a bit more water.

Scoop out the cookie dough on a prepared tray, and lightly flatten into thick discs. The cookies will expand a bit as they bake, so keep that in mind. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 20 minutes, until the cookies are slightly cracked and crisped up on top. They will be pretty soft as they come out of the oven, but will firm up as they sit and cool. Let the cookies cool on their tray for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store them at room temperature in an airtight container.

Dragi prijatelji, ja sam već odlučila da će ovo biti moji božićni Coronapocalypse keksići. Cijela godina nam je bila koma, blagdani će vjerojatno biti jako čudni, ali to sve skupa ne znači da ne možemo jesti fantastične kekse. Ovi su jako ukusni, totalno jednostavni za pripremu (Mislim, što drugo očekivati na ovom blogu?!), a zahvaljujući kombinaciji brusnica i čokolade, meni baš izgledaju veselo i blagdanski.

SASTOJCI:

(Za oko 20 keksa / 0,57 kn po keksu / 11,41 kn za sve)

1 šalica zobenog brašna (0,75 kn)

½ šalice integralnog brašna (0,40 kn)

4 žlice smeđeg šećera (1,00 kn)

½ žličice cimeta (0,25 kn)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

½ žličice praška za pecivo (0,05 kn)

½ šalice sjeckanih sušenih brusnica (3,00 kn)

½ šalice tamnih čokoladnih kapljica ili sjeckane tamne čokolade (5,00 kn)

¼ šalice neutralnog ulja (0,75 kn)

¼ šalice vode (–)

1 žličica ekstrakta od vanilije (0,20 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 170°C, a protvan obložite papirom za pečenje. U zdjeli skupa pomiješajte oba brašna, šećer, cimet, sol, prašak za pecivo, brusnice i čokoladu tako da se svi sastojci dobro izmiješaju. Dodajte ulje, vodu i vaniliju pa miješajte dok se ne formira jednolično tijesto. Po potrebi dodajte još mrvicu vode.

Tijesto grabite na pripremljeni protvan pa kekse lagano spljoštite u deblje diskove. Keksići će se malo raširiti kako se budu pekli, pa vodite o tome računa. Pecite kekse u sredini pećnice 20-tak minuta, dok se mrvicu ne raspucaju i blago zahrskaju. Keksi će biti dosta mekani kada ih izvadite iz pećnice, ali će se stisnuti kako se budu hladili. Pustite keksiće da se jedno 15-tak minuta hlade na protvanu, a onda ih preselite na rešetku i tako ohladite do kraja. Čuvajte ih na sobnoj temperaturi u hermetički zatvorenoj posudi.
