Can you use quick oats for cookies?
Yes. Quick oats cook quickly, retain less of their texture, and often cook up mushy. These oats pre-cooked, dried, and then rolled. They are pressed slightly, and they are thinner than rolled oats.
Why are oatmeal cookies dry?
They get too dry and crumbly if they are baked for too long or excess dough is used. Use your measuring kitchen utensils and follow the recipe carefully so that you do not use less or more dough or bake them for too long. Store them in airtight containers to protect them from drying.
