Tips:

- Use high-quality oats. For the best texture and flavor, use old-fashioned oats or quick-cooking oats. Steel-cut oats will not work well in this recipe. - Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. - Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help the cookies get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. - Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. - Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

These giant oat cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and loaded with flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your giant oat cookies turn out perfect every time.
