Thanks guys. Yes, substituting quick oats seemed to do just fine, though I haven't yet tried the cookies chilled. They stayed together and tasted fine on the sheets, but they've only been in the fridge for half an hour. Tomorrow will be the final experiment--after they chill--but it looks like the type of oat doesn't matter here. I'll be curious to see how different the texture is, if at all.
On a related note, last time I made these cookies, I got dry, crumbly batter that didn't turn into anything. Looks like I got the timing better this time, as this batch came out just how they should. I made these tonight, after making a casserole that also came out perfectly. At least my culinary confidence has increased after the streusel fiasco the other day. <smile> > On Aug 3, 2015, at 9:41 PM, Regina Marie <reginamariemu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Quick oats are usually a slightly different texure and tak less time to cook. > Should be fine to substitute in no-bakes. > > *smile* > Regina Marie > Phone: 916-877-4320 > Email: reginamariemu...@gmail.com > Follow me: http://www.twitter.com/mamaraquel > Find Me: http://www.facebook.com/reginamarie > Listen Live: http://www.jandjfm.com > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alex Hall via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] > Sent: Monday, August 03, 2015 4:48 PM > To: [cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] > Subject: [CnD] Using quick oats in no-bake cookies instead of old-fashioned? > > Hi all, > I'm going to make no-bake cookies, and the recipe I have calls for > old-fashioned oats.
