Scotch Oat Cookies

Submitted by Sharon in Ontario.

"These cookies are absolutely delicious. One of the ladies in our Bible Study group brought these and she was surrounded by ladies who wanted her recipe. She advises to use all the flour in the cookies and add extra for rolling. Put in fridge 1 hr. before rolling for easier handling."

Rolled oats are not Scotch oats. Or ummm Scotch oats are not rolled. These are rolled oat cookies. If you used Scotch oats you'd break yer teeth.
