I strongly dislike this recipe title, but I don’t know how else one describes a cookie that is more than just a treat. These are delicate on their own, but can handle the addition of an egg if you want them to be a little sturdier for a lunch box or to eat on-the-go.

We don’t stock quick-cooking oats, but they act more like a flour than the old-fashioned kind. If that is what you have too, pulse them in the food processor a few times to break them down. I’ve also pulsed Seven Sundays muesli (at Target and Costco) in the food processor until it was coarse flecks.

No eggs, dairy or gluten for those that need it, and still delicious for those who don’t.
