Notes
You can use any type of oats.
Refrigerate the dough for sometime and then roll the dough and cut using cookie cutters.
Baking time will differ depending on oven as well as thickness of cookies. So always keep an eye after 15 minutes
Cookies always looks soft while taking out and later becomes firm. Bake them little longer if you like it to be crispy.
I have tried with both jaggery and powdered brown sugar in the recipe. Both works good. Use palm jaggery if you are giving to lactating moms.
