Tips & Tricks
For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookies and let them cool on the baking sheet.
Use room temperature butter or margarine for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the amount slightly.
Adding a pinch of salt enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors, even if you use salted butter.
FAQS
Can I use quick oats instead of Quaker Oats?

Can I substitute margarine with butter?

How should I store these cookies?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
