I got several recipes with oat/oatmeal cookies here on the blog. Oats are just great for baking! If you ever tried you will probably agree. The results are always delicious in my opinion. I would not have baked so many cookies with oats if a single one had turned out bad ;P These simple and Easy Sugar-free Oats Cookies are no exception to that rule/fact. They are great and something I like to bake quite often.
We have almost always cookies at home. Not only the ones I bake myself – I also buy quite regularly cookies at the supermarket. But that are cookies I am not really able to bake at home. I am talking about super dry (sugar-free) biscuits that last for weeks. I tried to make biscuits like that several times already, but they never turned out the way I wanted – super dry and long-lasting ;P Anyway, I wanted to talk about the oats cookies and not about dry biscuits…
Well… even though these cookies will not last for weeks in your cookie box, you can easily extend their »shelf-life« by quite some time. How? You freeze them. Easy-peasy ;) As soon as they are cooled down completely you can add them to a freezer bag and freeze them for later. You might want to keep them separated at the beginning, so they don’t stick together but later on you can store all of them in one bag or container. Whenever you want to snack some cookies you take out the amount of cookies you like and let them defrost for 30 minutes or so – then you are good to go (and snack) ;)
If you like to customize the cookies you can also add some chopped nuts or a few chopped dried fruits. In case you prefer the cookies less »chunky« you can change the texture a bit by using finer rolled (quick oats) oats instead of the chunkier whole grain oats. At least here in Germany we have different types of oats that are either fine or coarse. Add a tiny bit more margarine ans you should get flatter cookies ;)

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
