I kept them even more wholesome by loading them with oats and whole wheat flour. What I loved the most about them is that I really didn’t use much sugar at all in the dough. Feel free to add more or reduce the amount as you please, but I found 1/2 cup of sugar was perfect for these....

I’ve lived in Texas for 30 years. In fact, I’ve lived longer here than I have in any other part of the world.
