Why I love The best Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies?

I love these pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies because they’re delicious, and the texture is spot on! The flavors meld together really well, too. It also takes almost no time at all to whip up a batch, and I can easily store them and enjoy them for up to two weeks (unless the kids eat them sooner). 

What makes cookies chewy vs crunchy?

While both chewy and crunchy cookies consist of the same ingredients, chewy cookies contain more liquid ingredients, while crunchy cookies contain less. So, if you prefer crunchier cookies, then adding more flour can help you achieve this goal. However, be careful when tweaking ingredients, because it could turn out negatively. 

What is the secret to perfect cookies?

One secret to perfect cookies is refraining from greasing the cookie sheet excessively. A small amount of grease or cooking spray is sufficient, because too much can cause the cookies to merge together and form one huge cookie, something you don’t want.
