Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats. Quick oats or steel-cut oats will not produce the same chewy texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges. The centers of the cookies should be slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to firm up.
