Faq
- How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
Look for a golden-brown color around the edges and a slightly soft center. Remember, cookies continue to bake slightly even after they're out of the oven.
- Can I use quick oats instead of oat flakes?
Yes, quick oats can be used, but they may affect the texture slightly. Oat flakes give a more robust texture.
- How can I make my cookies more chewy than crunchy?
Reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes and ensure you do not over-mix the dough. This helps retain moisture in the cookies.
- Why do I need to chill the dough before baking?
Chilling the dough helps solidify the fat in the cookies, which prevents them from spreading too much while baking. This leads to a thicker, more textured cookie.
- Can I prepare the dough in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 72 hours or freeze for up to 3 months. Just let it soften for a bit before baking.
- What's the best way to store leftover cookie sandwiches?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
