Hi Valentina, EXCELLENT cookies!!! my 4 year old couldn’t stop eating lol!!
I used quaker old fashioned whole rolled oats, do you use that or the quick cooking oats?
Mariana,
I am so glad to hear you guys enjoyed these, especially your munchkin (makes me smile twice as big. :O)..)
I used old-fashioned oats as I like the texture it gives a cookie. However, quick oats may be used. They will just be more delicate (and a bit mushier) and will take a little less time to cook.
Thanks for visiting our online home:).
Very Delicious cookies!!! Not overly sweet and the cinnamon and toasted coconut goes perfect
That’s wonderful, Nina. I am totally in agreement with you. They are a perfect combination and with the oatmeal it kind of feels healty(ish), ha!
