Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats. Old-fashioned oats will give your cookies a chewy texture, while quick-cooking oats will make them more cake-like.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop. A cookie scoop will help you to make evenly-sized cookies that will bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until they are golden brown. The cookies should be set in the center and golden brown around the edges when they are done.
- Let the cookies cool completely before eating them. The cookies will be easier to handle and will taste better if you let them cool completely before eating them.
