In a large separate bowl, mix together flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Fold in wet ingredients and incorporate until combined.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of each cookie are lightly browned.

Frequently Asked Questions

What oatmeal works best for this recipe?

For this particular recipe, I recommend using quick cooking oats. These are found by all the other oats, in the cereal aisle. You could also use steel cut oats, if you are looking for a healthier option. However, this will change the taste and texture of the cookie.

Could you make this recipe without oats?

You could most definitely make this recipe without using oats. However, if you do choose to do this, I recommend adding a little more flour. I would add about 1/2 cup of flour, check the texture, then slowly add more flour, little by little.

I’ve been making this recipe for going on three years now! I’m glad it’s a double recipe because these cookies are gone before I take the last pan out of the oven! No other recipe comes close. Even my pumpkin-hating friends and family can’t stop eating these. I had the recipe pinned but it disappeared from Pinterest it seems. So lucky I remembered it’s Six Sisters!
