Tips

  • For a chewier cookie, use old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking oats.
  • Add in your favorite mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts.
  • For a festive touch, decorate the cookies with icing or sprinkles.
  • These cookies are best when eaten fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
