FAQ'S FOR THIS VEGAN OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE

1. Can I make these cookies crispier?
Yes. Simply bake them for an extra 1 to 2 minutes to get a thin, crisp, golden edge and a more delicate texture.

2. Do I have to chill the dough?
Chilling helps control spreading, especially since these cookies bake up thin. It only takes 20 to 30 minutes and makes a noticeable difference.

3. Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
You can, but the texture will be slightly softer. Rolled oats give the cookies that light, pretty visual texture and hold up better while baking.

4. What plant based butter works best?
Any stick-style vegan butter works well. Tub-style butter can make the dough softer, so if using it, chill the dough on the longer end.
