Ingredients
Instructions
- Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the softened butter or margarine.
- Beat or squeeze ingredients together until well mixed.
- Roll dough between hands into small balls.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Rub butter on the bottom of a glass and dip it in granulated sugar.
- Flatten balls of dough with the glass bottom.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, consider substituting half of the brown sugar with granulated sugar. If you're short on butter, you can use coconut oil as a healthier alternative. Make sure to use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best results. If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 30 minutes before rolling into balls.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect on their own or paired with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot coffee. Consider serving them alongside a fruit salad for a refreshing contrast. They also make a great addition to dessert platters or cookie exchanges, complementing other sweet treats like 1, 2, 3, 4 Buttermilk Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them fresh for longer, you can freeze the cookies for up to three months. Reheat them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a warm, soft treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
While you can use quick oats, the texture of the cookies may change. Rolled oats provide a chewier texture and better structure. If you prefer to use quick oats, reduce the baking time slightly as they may cook faster.
What can I add to personalize these cookies?
You can add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits like raisins or cranberries to enhance flavor and texture. For a fun twist, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice note.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
To make Aggie's Cookies gluten-free, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure that all other ingredients, including oats, are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
