Notes
Old fashioned rolled oats will work as well, if you do not have quick cooking oats. The dough will have a more distinct texture, but I like both versions. If you are using rolled oats, increase the amount to about 1 1/3 cups. The dough should hold together, but should not be overly sticky. (I prefer the rolled oat version myself, but some of my family members preferred the slightly smoother smaller oats.)
