Notes
You can easily make oat flour by grinding oats in a blender. Be sure to measure the 1/ ¼ cups of oat flour after they're ground.If you glaze the cookies with Maple Pecan Glaze, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Adding the glaze will make the cookie softer. If you prefer a crisper cookie, omit the glaze. Nutrition information does not include the glaze.
