Tips:

Use old-fashioned oats. Quick-cooking or instant oats will not give the cookies the same texture.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them to set and prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

These special oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that everyone will love. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these delicious cookies in no time.
