Notes

- Rolled oats can be used instead of quick oats, but the texture may be slightly different.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
- These cookies freeze well and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
- If you prefer softer cookies, reduce freezing time or store at room temperature shortly after freezing.
