I like to keep some of this dough in the freezer at all times since it's so handy to slice, bake and serve at a moment's notice. These wholesome cookies are super with a cup of coffee - in fact, we occasionally grab a few for breakfast when we're in a hurry. -Kathi Peters, Chilliwack, British Columbia

Sure, you've had oatmeal in a sweet, but these cookies also contain spelt flour, which has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor. A dark-chocolate coating and a sprinkling of flaky salt make the ideal finishing touches.

Time 3h15m

Yield Makes 16 cookies

1 1/4 cups spelt flour

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and cubed before you start mixing the dough. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape better.
  • Don't over-mix the dough. Over-mixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. Over-baking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

These rolled oat shortbread cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual snack to a special dessert. With their simple ingredients and classic flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
