These oat biscuits—similar to shortbread cookies—are wonderful with seasonal grapes and a good-quality triple-cr me cheese. Triple-crème is a soft, creamy cow's-milk cheese (with at least 75 percent milk fat) that has a luscious, mild flavor. Because of its natural sweetness, it's perfect with dessert; Pierre Robert, Explorateur, Le Chevrot, or Chaource are all excellent choices.

Cooks' note:

•Oat biscuits are best eaten the same day they're baked, but they can be made 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
