Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grind oats until fine using a blender or food processor.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the blended oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the butter lumps are smaller than peas. Stir in the buttermilk and honey to form a stiff dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto cookie sheets.
- Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

I thought they were edible. My children didn't like them. I followed the recipe perfectly. I will not make these again.

Very easy to make and fun to do with the kids! My 6 year old did all the mixing and rolling while the 2 year old loved to help color and cut the dough. We used playdoh cutters to cut the dough. ...

I made them following the exact directions and was pleased with the outcome. They do have a hint of honey flavor- not too terribly bland!

I will never make them again. They tasted more like a biscuit and had very little flavor. I had to add some brown sugar and lots of cinnamon and they were more edible after that, but still no...
