❓ Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yep! Quick oats will work just fine. The texture might be a bit softer, but they’ll still taste amazing.
❓ How do I store these cookies?
Just pop them in an airtight container and keep them at room temp for up to 5 days. You can refrigerate too if you like them a bit firmer!
❓ Can I skip the peanut butter?
If you're not into peanut butter or have allergies, you can swap it with almond butter, cashew butter, or even cookie butter for a fun twist.
