If you are a fan of oatmeal cookies, then for sure you cook it periodically and try its various options. In this article I will tell you a recipe for lean oatmeal cookies with semolina, honey and dried fruits. It will certainly come in handy for everyone who is fasting. Many people think that lean recipes are few and far between. However, dozens, if not hundreds, of their cooking options have been invented. Spices, nuts, dried fruits, honey, various flour mixtures, etc. are added to the dough. Therefore, lean oatmeal cookies can be delicious and varied.

Today I decided to combine oatmeal with semolina, which gave the product porosity and airiness. I also put honey and dried fruits, which enriched the taste and aroma of the baked goods. But if you wish, you can add other products that you like best to the dough. Such cookies with a cup of tea or coffee will perfectly replace the morning plate of porridge. In addition, by kneading this dough, you can bake cookies in several ways. For example, thin crispy and crumbly cookies or tall and soft gingerbread. It depends on the choice of the chef.
