Tips:

  • Use a variety of oats. This will give your cookies a more complex flavor and texture. You can use rolled oats, quick oats, or steel-cut oats.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • 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. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. The cookies will stay fresh for up to a week.
