Yield:24 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F).

STEP 1
Grind oats until fine using a blender or food processor.

STEP 2
In a medium bowl, stir together oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender until the butter lumps are smaller than peas. Stir in buttermilk and honey to form a stiff dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8" thickness. Cut into mini animal shapes using our cookie cutters under our safari catagory. Place cookies 1" apart on cookie sheets.

STEP 3
Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
