Instructions

  7. Scoop very small portions of dough and roll into tiny balls, placing them on the baking sheet.
  8. Gently press each ball slightly flat.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp around the edges.
  10. Let cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up.
  11. Serve as cereal with milk or enjoy as a snack.

Notes

  • Make cookies very small for a true cereal texture.
  • Cool completely to achieve maximum crispness.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Re-crisp in the oven if they soften.
  • Use gluten-free flour and oats if needed.
  • Chill dough if cookies spread too much.
