Notes
I sometimes use Tablespoonfuls to make bigger cookies!
I have made these with old fashioned oats and they still turn out great. Leave them sitting on the baking sheet for awhile, because they might not look like they’re done yet. They continue baking on the sheet after you pull them out. Once you can lift them without breaking them apart, then transfer them to the baking sheet.
