❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Quaker Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1. Can I use quick oats instead of old fashioned oats?

It is not recommended. Quick oats are more processed and will result in a different texture. Old fashioned oats give the cookies a chewier and more substantial texture.

2. How do I store these cookies?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze the baked cookies for up to three months.

3. Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes you can. Scoop the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze until solid then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

4. Why did my cookies turn out flat?

Flat cookies can be caused by butter that is too soft or melted. Make sure your butter is softened but not melted. Also be sure you are measuring your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off.

5. Can I add nuts to this recipe?

Absolutely. Chopped walnuts or pecans are a great addition. Add about 1/2 cup of chopped nuts along with the raisins.
