Frequently asked questions
Yes. Rolled oats will make your cookies more chewy and dense. Quick oats will be more like ground oats and will make the cookies lighter and fluffier.
Chill the oatmeal cookie dough will help keep the cookies together as they bake and prevent them from flattening out. Chilling will solidify the fat in the dough which makes it spread less.
Store cooled-down oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough in a jar or container on your kitchen counter for up to 3 days. You may store them in the fridge for up to 10 days.

Rena says
Yes you can

I also wanted to know how many grams are 1 cup of oats, on some sides it comes out that they are between 80 grams and on others 150, the difference is much! Thank you so much
Rena says
Hi. Uncooked oats should be 80g per cup
Andrew Taylor says
These turned out sooo good!! Was kind of hoping they wouldn’t, to save myself from eating the whole batch! Will definitely be hiding these from the kids
Sharing this recipe for sure. Thank you!
Rocio Araya Osorio says
how many grams of protein are approximately? I’m not sure if I take it as 2 scoop 30 grams or if I take it as 50, thank you very much
Rena says
You mean if you add two scoops? just add up the amount of protein you are adding, and divide it by the amount of cookies you make.
Amanda Keays says
Only had strawberry shortcake protein powder and they turned out delicious!
Rena says
Oh yay. Glad it worked out for you

Thank you Sam. Glad your boys loved it.

Can I omit the protein? If not do you have a recipe without protein because oat.eal cookies are one of my favorites.
Rena says
yes. just add either more oatmeal (you can blend) or replace it with almond flour
And says
If I do t have protein what else can I use?
Rena says
add the same amount of almond flour, or replace it with blended oats
