OAT-AND-SPELT SHORTBREAD
Sure, you've had oatmeal in a sweet, but these cookies also contain spelt flour, which has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor. A dark-chocolate coating and a sprinkling of flaky salt make the ideal finishing touches.

Steps:
- Whisk together spelt flour, oats, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat to combine. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture to combine. Gather dough in plastic wrap; form into a rectangular disk and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a scant 1/2-inch thickness; cut into 2-inch squares. Place 1 inch apart on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until firm to the touch and golden around edges, 24 to 26 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Melt chocolate. Dip each cookie diagonally in chocolate; sprinkle with flaky salt, if desired. Refrigerate on parchment-lined sheets until just set.
ROLLED OATS SHORTBREAD
Another recipe from an old 1960's cookbook. I've been making these a couple times a year for 40 years. They are crispy and butter flavoured and so good. Use quick cooking oats. I use the dough hook to mix when it gets too hard for the K beater. Instead of rolling out I find it easier to pat into a 9"x 13" cookie sheet with 1/2" in sides. I use parchment paper. Score into about 1 1/2" pieces and bake. When baked cut along score lines and you have nice square cut cookies.

Tips:
- Use chilled butter: Chilling the butter before grating it helps to create a more crumbly texture in the shortbread.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the shortbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a light touch when rolling out the dough: Rolling the dough too thin will make the shortbread dry and crumbly. Roll it out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Bake the shortbread until it is golden brown: Baking the shortbread until it is golden brown will help to ensure that it is cooked through.
- Allow the shortbread to cool completely before slicing: Slicing the shortbread while it is still warm will cause it to crumble.
Conclusion:
These rolled oats shortbread cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a quick snack or a special occasion. With their simple ingredients and classic flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
