Tips & Substitutions
For an extra chocolatey flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the mixture before dropping onto wax paper. If you prefer a nut-free option, substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter. Ensure your butter is softened for easier mixing, and use quick oats for a more uniform texture. If you want a crunchier cookie, toast the oats lightly before mixing.
