Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier cookie, consider chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can substitute half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce for a lighter version. If you don't have powdered oatmeal, blend regular oats until fine, or use instant oats as a substitute. To enhance flavors, add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and added nutrition. However, keep in mind that it may alter the texture slightly, making them denser.
What can I add instead of chocolate chips?
Feel free to substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts for a different flavor profile. For a fun twist, you could even try butterscotch or peanut butter chips.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
Cookies are typically done when they are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. They will continue to firm up after cooling. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary based on oven variations.
