Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Ingredient Substitutions: Use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick-cooking rolled oats.
  • Tip 2
    Ingredient Substitutions: Instead of raisins, use your favourite dried fruit. Try dried apricots, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, chopped dates or figs, or mixed fruit bits.
  • Tip 3
    Storage Tip : Oatmeal cookies freeze well. Transfer the cooled cookies to airtight containers and freeze them for up to six months. For grab-and-go desserts and snacks, freeze two or three cookies each in resealable plastic freezer storage bags.
