FAQs
Can I use regular oats instead of quick-cook oats?
Yes, but it may change the texture a little. Quick-cook oats make the cookies softer.
Do I have to use butter?
No! You can substitute with coconut oil or a vegan butter for a dairy-free option.
How do I know when the cookies are set?
The cookies will firm up as they cool. They are ready when they are no longer sticky to the touch.
