Time 42m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup rolled oats
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter
2 teaspoons honey
¼ cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grind oats until fine using a blender or food processor.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the blended oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the butter lumps are smaller than peas. Stir in the buttermilk and honey to form a stiff dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
