FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?
Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then scrape with a knife to level off the access. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour cause the flour to compress and getting more than the recipe calls for.
STORING THE COOKIES
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. The cookies stay good for up to four days if stored properly.
Can I use quick Oats?
No, you want to be sure to use rolled oats, also called old fashioned oats. These give the best texture.
HOW TO GET PERFECTLY ROUND COOKIES
As soon as the baked cookies are pulled from the oven place a round cookie cutter (a little bit large than the cookies) around the cookies and gently swirl it around. This will give your cookie a round shape. If you don’t have a cookie cutter you can use a glass or a jar lid.
CAN I MAKE THE COOKIES Larger?
I found when I made them bigger the cookies lost a lot of their shape. I find 1 & 1/2 TBSP worth of dough was the perfect size.

Glad you liked them!

I tried this recipe and everyone loved the flavor but why did mine end up flat when I followed the exact recipe? Any thoughts?
Jessie M
Glad you liked the flavour. These cookies are pretty flat, they're not a thick cookie.
Keri
Mine did not turn out, they completely flattened out. I bake a lot and followed the instructions. Any suggestions?

These cookies are pretty thin. I use a light coloured aluminium pan, sometimes I find darker pans flatten the cookies more. A trick I like to do for cookies that are a little too flat is get a round cookie cutter (or glass) that is slightly large than the cookies. When the cookies are hot out of the oven put the cookie cutter around it and gently swirl it around. This gives the cookies their round shape back and squishes them together a bit which will help thicken them up a little.
