Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned or rolled oats. These types of oats will give your cookies a chewy texture.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. If you bake them too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These old-fashioned oatmeal cookies are a classic for a reason. They are delicious, easy to make, and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are in the mood for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try.
