• Because of the relatively low fat and sugar content, these cookies spread out very little while cooking, so you must shape and flatten them by hand first.
• Different textures can be achieved by using rolled oats, steel-cut oats, or a combination thereof.
• If there should be any left overs, they are best served reheated (e.g. microwave for a few seconds).
