How to customize oatmeal cookies
Everyone likes their cookies to have a certain bite, whether it’s ultra soft or with the perfect crispy edges. Underbake the cookies by 1-2 minutes for soft cookies, and bake for another 1-2 minutes for crispy, super crumbly cookies.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for a hint of warmth, or add your favourite mix-ins like chopped nuts, extra chocolate, or dried fruit.
How to make chewy vegan cookies
There are two ingredients in this vegan chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe that ensure a crumbly yet chewy texture! The first is brown sugar, which contains molasses and has more moisture than granulated sugar.
