- Do not begin timing the mixture until it reaches a full rolling boil.
- Old-fashioned rolled oats create the hearty, chewy texture used in this recipe.
- Natural peanut butter can be used, but stir it thoroughly before measuring.
- Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze completely set cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
