Polynesian Butterscotch Cookies

As I searched for cookies that might be common on these amazing islands of the Pacific Ocean, I kept coming across recipes that come together as crispy and caramel cookies. I put together a variation of cookies from these literature sources that is caramel, crunchy, and quite delicious. These cookies are made with a variation of caramel called butterscotch. In essence, it is butter caramel made with brown sugar, which in Estonian conditions is nicely replaced by ordinary cow candy, which is available in every grocery store.

Preparation time: 30 minutes of kneading the dough, about 1 hour of baking
Level: Easy
Quantity: About 80 cookies

Ingredients:
340 g room temperature butter
200 sugar
200 brown sugar
2 eggs
4 teaspoons of vanilla
360 g of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
200 g caramel pieces
80 g of oatmeal
80 g of cornflakes
80 g of coconut flakes

Preparation:

  1. Beat butter with sugar and vanilla sugar until foamy.
  2. Add eggs and beat
  3. Add flour, baking powder, corn flakes, oatmeal, and coconut flakes.
  4. Cut the cow candies into small pieces and mix them into the dough.
  5. Put dough balls with a thickness of about 3 cm on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and bake them at 180 degrees C for about 10 minutes until the cookies are light brown.
  6. As the caramel melts and browns, it can be difficult to get the cookies off the paper. Let the cookies cool down and use a cake spatula to remove the cookies from the paper.
  7. Store in a cool, dry, airtight container.
