  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also roll the oats in a rolling pin or place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a mallet.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes 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 and the centers are set. Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
