Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their soft texture.
- For a warm, gooey treat, microwave a cookie for 10-15 seconds before serving.
- These cookies are delicious with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding the oats; this will prevent tough cookies and keep them nice and chewy.
