A visit to the Swedish store is an integral part of every IKEA visit, at least for me. My shopping basket consists of vegan Köttbullar, hot dogs and at least one warm cinnamon bun. What I will no longer buy in future: Swedish oatmeal cookies. They are so quick and easy to make yourself and this sourdough version is also a great way to use up sourdough discard. I usually use a plant-based alternative instead of butter and the cookie recipe is even vegan.

The oat cookies are sweet and crispy and the sourdough gives the cookies a fruity note. They will keep for a few days at room temperature in airtight packaging, even if this is usually not necessary. Oatmeal cookies are the perfect snack between meals. A glaze of dark chocolate and a pinch of cinnamon in the dough make this a Christmas cookie recipe.
