These are very good cookies. My kids love iced oatmeal cookies from the store, but now that I have made this recipe (multiple times) they don’t want store bought anymore. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

I love this recipe! The cookies receive compliments anytime I bring them for a crowd! They are delicious! Just like a baked iced oatmeal cookie from childhood but way better

I have finally found an oatmeal cookie recipe that my husband likes….
Chahinez
HAHA my husband loves these too
Felicia
Hello, I have made these cookies before and they have been a hit. Lately, when I make them they are coming out with more cake-like than cookie-like. I follow this recipe to the T.
I have organic rolled oats and sugar instead of non organic, which I have used in the past and they were great. Could that be it?
Thank you!
Chahinez
Hi! I’m not sure and it’s tough to determine since you said the recipe was working for you before and now it’s not. I don’t believe the fact that you’re using organic ingredients should matter but maybe go back to the ingredients you used prior that worked just to see 🙂

I’ve noticed that different brands of oatmeal have different textures – my main experience comes from eating Quakers for a long time and getting a more dense oatmeal whereas the CostCo brand come out more cooked through and, in a way, creamy almost like quick oats – so there is definitely a difference in the oats themselves even if they’re both the “Right type”
Ashley
Delicious! I’ve made them a few times and everyone in our house loved them!
Chahinez
That’s awesome! next time send me pictures on instagram 🙂 I love to see it
Jess
Can I make the dough ahead of time and freeze it?
Chahinez
You sure can! Just freeze the dough balls on a baking sheet first with a space in between each for a few hours so they don’t stick together. Then you can transfer to a ziplock or container and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Jessica
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I will make for the first time today. All of the positive comments got me excited. Question: is there a crisp around the edges of this cookie or is it a cookie that is soft, chewy, and cakey? Thanks
Chahinez
Apologies for the late reply. This is definitely a soft and chewy cookie. Hope they turned out well for you 🙂
vinny
Everyone loved these and it was so easy!
Chahinez
I’m glad they liked them!
