It all started because my 4 year old wanted to make cookies with me. She loves to help in the kitchen and as much as I like to do things with her, the cleanup after that puts me off at times. On top of regular cleaning there is additional mess on the countertop, kitchen floors and of course on her clothes. Needless to say, I allow her to help only sparingly when I am in the mood for extra cleanup .

My daughter had fun cutting the cookies and pricking them with the fork. She also offered to roll the dough and I politely refused. The crackers had this slight sweetness from honey and tasted great. I have been trying to use oats in various recipes and this one is a keeper. Recipe slightly adapted from the book “Rodale’s Naturally Delicious Desserts and Snacks”.

My Notes
1. Buttermilk Substitute - 1 tbsp vinegar + almost 1 cup milk (vinegar + milk combined should be 1 cup)
2. Any cookie cutter can be used to cut the cookies.
3. The thinner the dough is rolled, the crispier.
