Notes
- Make sure your butter is room temperature, not too cold nor too hot to get the perfect oatmeal cookie.
- Use both baking powder and baking soda for puffy and light as air oatmeal cookies.
- The cookie dough should not be too runny when you're trying to shape your cookies. If you feel the oatmeal cookies aren;t holding their shape before baking, then add 1/4 cup more of oatmeal to the dough and try again.
- Male sure your oven is preheated so the cookies don't over spread.
- You can make endless oatmeal cookies varieties using this healthy oatmeal cookie as a base. So instead of raisins add chocolate chip for a healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.
- Also because I've had plenty of comments about the flax seeds, they're totally optional :) So replace them with nuts if you prefer or skip them all together.
- Store the baked oatmeal cookies in a air tight container for up to 6 days or freeze them baked for up to 4 months.
- If you want to freeze unbaked cookies, then it's best to shape the cookie dough into cookies and freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, place the cookies in a ziploc bag in the freezer and bake them as needed.
- Bake the frozen cookies at the same temperature for an extra 3-4 minutes max.
- These healthy oatmeal cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy puffy on the inside, however you can get a crisper oatmeal cookie by adding 2 extra minutes to your baking time.
