Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture. Quick oats will result in a softer cookie, while steel-cut oats will be too chewy.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

They are made with whole grain oats, which are a good source of fiber and can help to regulate blood sugar levels.
