i Deb…Just made these cookies. They taste superb though I tweaked a bit with some almond meal in place of flour.

Hi Zuzu — You could try to use a mix of steel-cut oats and instant, if you have both. Hopefully they’ll balance each other out and the cookies will have a wider range of texture.

Not sure what I did wrong, followed the recipe exactly, but the cookies came out flat as pancakes. Delicious, moist, and chewy, but flat.

Hi Deb,
What’s your opinion on the type of oats that can be used for these cookies? I’ve read that steel-cut oats take longer to cook, and instant oatmeal gives a mushier texture. I don’t have any rolled oats at home and don’t want to go out to buy a whole bag. Any suggestions for a substitution?

Great as always. We added toasted coconut this time and went with your salt suggestion. They were a bit too salty. I’ll stick with the 1/4 teaspoon next time or my usually just a few shakes. SOO good!
