  • Bake for 9 minutes. Do not overbake! Take them out more doughy and let them sit. If you over bake you won't get the same gooey, soft cookie.

Notes

Measure 2 cups of rolled oats and then add them to a blender to ground them coarsely.
Refrigerate the dough for 2 hours or overnight. You can easily make this dough the day before and then bake the cookies fresh when ready to serve. They are the best right out of the oven when soft, chewy, and gooey! 
Do not over-baking them! This is so important for making a gooey, soft cookie. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes. 9 minutes seems to be the golden spot, depending on your oven temperature and location. 
You can leave the old-fashioned oats whole and not ground for this recipe.
Freeze the extra dough you have left over to use later.
