FAQs
1. Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats?
While you can, old-fashioned oats provide a better texture and chewiness. Quick oats may make the cookies too soft.
2. What can I use instead of butter?
You can substitute with margarine or a plant-based butter alternative, but this may change the flavor slightly.
3. How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies should be lightly golden at the edges and firm to the touch. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
