Switch it up
Change things with dried fruit, seeds or some chocolate bits if you want. Every batch can be different.
Keep them fresh
When you store them in a sealed box, they stay crunchy for weeks. Let them cool down first, snap the lid on and that's it.
Perfect combo
Mixing chunky and fine oats gives the best bite. You'll be fine using just one type too—they still taste great.

With or without chocolate
Glaze makes them look extra special but honestly, they're amazing plain too. Grab ready-made icing if you're in a hurry.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → How do I keep these cookies fresh?
Stick them in a container with a tight lid. They’ll stay crunchy and tasty for about two to three weeks.
- → Could I swap in different nuts?
For sure. Try almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans. Just chop them up nice and small first.
- → Why does the dough need a break?
Letting it sit means the oats soak up some liquid. That makes your cookies a bit chewy inside and helps them hold together.
- → Can I cut the sugar down?
Yep, you can use less sugar. But be ready—it’ll change how the cookies taste and feel.
- → Are these cookies freezer-friendly?
Absolutely. Freeze them before adding chocolate, and they’ll be good for up to three months.
