## Description
|
||
|
||
This recipe will give you around 10 big, thick/high cookies with a soft new yorkian style texture, but with the addition of the interesting flavor, and the crunchy and fuzzy texture from the muesli (seeds/oats/dried fruits) included in the dough.

## Ingredients
|
||
- 200g white flour
|
||
- 200g muesli/oats
|
||
- 60g sugar
|
||
- 40g golden raisins
|
||
- 10g baking powder
|
||
- 160g butter
|
||
- 2 eggs (~100g)
|
||
- 150g natural yogurt
|
||
- 80g chocolate chips
|
||
- 6g vanilla extract
|
||
- Pinch of salt (if using unsalted butter)
|
||
|
||
## Method
|
||
|
||
1. **Mix the dry ingredients.**
|
||
Make a well in the center to add the liquids later.
|
||
|
||
2. **Brown the butter.**
|
||
Brown the butter on medium heat (160°C). Avoid heating it too much to prevent splattering, but ensure it's not too low to cook it properly.
|
||
|
||
As the butter melts, it will separate into liquid butter and milk solids. Stir continuously for even cooking.
|
||
|
||
The color of the butter can be misleading, especially in dark pans. Cook it until it releases a nutty aroma (if using salted butter, this typically happens when it starts to foam), this usually takes between 5 to 10 minutes.
|
||
|
||
After removing the heat, let it chill till warm or room temperature.
|
||
|
||
When adding the butter to the mixture, don’t filter out the milk solids—they contribute to the nutty butter flavor.
|
||
|
||
3. **Combine the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract.**
|
||
Mix until the mixture is uniform and any clumps are minimal.
|
||
|
||
4. **Form the dough.**
|
||
Mix the dry and wet ingredients together to form a cohesive dough ball.
|
||
|
||
5. **Divide the dough.**
|
||
Separate the dough into 8–12 smaller balls (100g each).
|
||
|
||
6. **Chill the cookie dough.**
|
||
Cool the dough in plastic containers inside the freezer.
|
||
|
||
7. **Prepare for baking.**
|
||
Preheat the oven and place the cookie dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
|
||
|
||
8. **Bake the cookies.**
|
||
Bake at medium heat (220°C) for about 25 minutes.
|
||
|
||
Rotate the tray halfway through for an even bake.
|
||
|
||
Remove the tray when the cookies are light brown in color.
|
||
|
||
In dark trays the high conduction heat can burn the cookies from below,
|
||
in this situation remove the cookies right after they start changing color or use a silicon mat instead of parchment paper.
