- Refrigerate or freeze for 1 to 8 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notes
Use parchment paper instead of greasing the cookie sheet.
Spices will make the cookies taste . . . spicy.
Whole-wheat flour gives the cookies a slightly nutty flavor and more texture, but white flour can be used as well.
Refrigerating or freezing the dough keeps the cookies from flattening in the oven.
The more oats, the better!
