  • 2 Tbsp. graham cracker crumbs
  • 1½ cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. whole milk

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.

  • In a food processor, pulse oats until a fine powder is formed. Add with flour to shortening mixture; blend until smooth. Roll into 1" balls; place on ungreased baking sheet. Flatten with a fork.
  • Bake 8–10 minutes. Cool.
