- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a chewier cookie, bake for 12 minutes. For a crispier cookie, bake for 10 minutes.
- If you don't have quick-cooking or old-fashioned oatmeal, you can use rolled oats. Simply pulse them in a food processor until they resemble coarse flour.
