Cookie Baking Tips

  • Chill the dough 15–20 minutes if your kitchen is warm for extra-thick soft cookies.
  • For chewier cookies, pull at 13–14 minutes; for crisp edges, bake closer to 16 minutes.
  • Swap quick oats for old-fashioned oats for more texture (add 1–2 tsp milk if the dough feels dry).
