More About This Recipe

  • Wondering if you can substitute old-fashioned oats for quick-cooking oats? The answer is yes! Here’s what you should know first. Old-fashioned oats and quick-cooking oats are both rolled and flattened in the same way; the difference is in the way they are cut. Quick-cooking oats are cut into smaller pieces than old-fashioned oats, which means that their cook time is less than old-fashioned oats. Both can be use interchangeably in baked goods like breads and cookies, but the texture will be slightly different. Cookies made with old-fashioned oats will be a bit chewier. If you like a softer texture, then stick to quick-cooking oats. We’d recommend to avoid baking oatmeal cookies with steel-cut oats. These oats aren’t rolled—they are simply finely chopped pieces of the whole oat groat. They take longer to cook than rolled oats and for the most part, retain their shape. They wouldn’t make for a great texture in an oatmeal cookie, but they do make for an excellent breakfast option on their own! Have oatmeal on the mind now?
