Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, you can use quick oats, but the texture of the cookies will be slightly different. Rolled oats provide a chewier texture, while quick oats will make the cookies softer.
Can I make these cookies without coconut?
Absolutely! If you’re not a fan of coconut, simply leave it out or replace it with an equal amount of additional oats or nuts.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown, and the centers are set but still soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.
Why did my cookies spread too much?
If your cookies spread too much, it could be due to the butter being too warm or the dough not being chilled enough. Try chilling the dough before baking and ensure your butter is just softened, not melted.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, this recipe can easily be doubled to make a larger batch of cookies. Just make sure to use a large enough mixing bowl and adjust baking times as needed if baking multiple trays at once.
