Why is oatmeal so much better in cookies than in a mushy bowl?  Butter? Sugar? Cricket Flour? With their powers combined, you end up with one hearty, tasty little cookie.  These oatmeal cricket cookies stand as an excellent traditional oatmeal cookie with a little added fiber, protein and iron by substituting 30% of wheat flour with cricket flour.   These cricket cookies are definitely not paleo, gluten-free or  dairy free.  Loaded with tasty cricket flour, butter and sugar, they’re perfect for introducing entomophagy to a more traditional or young audience.

Old-fashioned oatmeal cricket cookies + glass of milk = perfect Santa bait.
