What each ingredient does

Flour: Provides the main structure that holds the treats together.
Chicken broth: Adds moisture to hydrate the flour and oatmeal.
Oatmeal: Adds bulk and a hearty, slightly chewy texture.
Baking powder: Releases gas during baking so the treats rise and become lighter.
Oil: Adds fat that keeps the treats tender and moist.
Corn starch: Helps create a lighter, more tender texture.
