These texture of these cookies are very different to regular oatmeal cookies and have a rustic, wholesome character. The exterior can be slightly crispy, while inside, it has a softer, chewy texture. The oats provide a pivotal tole in the texture with the choice of oats influencing the outcome. the best texture is achieved with quick oats, where as rolled oats (old fashioned oats) often results in a drier quality. I find the oat flour a little gummy but some kids may prefer the smoother texture.
