Easy Cookie Recipe Tips
Get creative with your cookies and add mix-ins such as dried fruit, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, chopped walnuts, or pecans. If you want extra chewy cookies, you can replace the rolled oats with quick cooking oats. For a healthier option, you can also substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chips. Another tip is to sprinkle a little sea salt on top of the warm cookies for an added flavor burst!
You can also store the cookies after completely cooling them. Store them in airtight jars and they will last for 3 days.
