FAQs
Can I make this cookie vegan?
Yes! Simply replace the butter with melted coconut oil or vegan butter.
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Absolutely. Quick oats work well and create a slightly softer texture.
Why does the cookie look underbaked?
This cookie continues to firm up as it cools on the baking sheet. Letting it rest is key for the perfect texture.
Can I double the recipe?
Definitely. You can easily double or triple the ingredients if you want to make more cookies.
Can I make this in the air fryer?
Yes. Air fry at 325°F for about 6 to 8 minutes, checking closely near the end.
