Wow, I so agree: These are oaty shortbread bites! So yummy! I used butter instead of margarine and cut the biscuits with a glass. After 20 minutes they were perfectly done- slightly brown and wonderfully crisp. Thank you so much for sharing these little gems, Pam Wood!

I used butter and added a bit of honey, these came out like oatmeal shortbread. Just love them, and my family ate them up and wanted more. I have made this recipe several times and always play with it a bit, the results are always the same, they go fast and everyone wants to know where the rest are.
