In reply to Lori. Hi Lori! I think both the dough and the cookies will freeze just fine. I personally would freeze the dough balls. :)

Do these cookies freeze well? Does the dough? I like to have some ready for cookie emergencies:)

In reply to Christine. Thank you for trying my recipe, Christine! I'm glad you've been enjoying them! I recommend using weights when possible. I have standardized my measurements across my website and these are the measurements that I personally use. :)

another weekly favorite at this house! I am a bit confused though, as the measured amounts do not come close to the weighed amounts. first batch didn’t spred out like uses, second batch did, waiting for the third to bake right now.

mine did this too! but I make 100g cookies so I had giant cookie balls 😂 once baked they did turn into spheres, but next round I’ll just make the dough balls into spheres first to make them flat. I was so surprised cause my brown butter brown sugar base cookies all melt! must be the oats! maybe try turning half the oats into oat flour? I have so many batches to experiment with now!

I made this on a whim so I could use up some of my sourdough discard and they were FANTASTIC!!! I added dark chocolate chips and wow so good. Great recipe!!!! I’ll definitely make these again. Looking forward to checking out your other recipes.

This recipe is so versatile. I have experimented with various flours and additions. Loved all of the variations as well as the original recipe. And I feel like this is about the healthiest cookie I could want.

I’ve made quite a few of your sourdough treats and I keep coming back for more!

I love oatmeal cookies but mine didn’t spread at all when baked. They baked into a ball!! Lol The dough was super dry. I was a little surprised at how many grams of oats there were but stuck it out. I’m going to make these again and cut the oats in half so maybe they will bake into a cookie shape. The flavor was great though! Ate them with some milk and being a little dry didn’t matter.

That brown butter flavor makes such a difference! I added a little vanilla bean as well. The chocolate chip cookie recipe is still my favorite but I’m determined to get an oatmeal sourdough to work as well!

Absolutely fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly as written, including an optional one cup of raisins (sorry, Sam! Lol!) This one is a keeper. Thanks for your channel and sharing your recipes with us!

Omg! This oatmeal recipe is the best sourdough discard recipe out there. I’ve made different batches some raisins and some with chocolate chips. They come out awesome every time. Samantha Bravo! Great job creating this recipe.

very happy with these cookies. I used cashew butter in place of the butter, egg white instead of yolk, 100% whole wheat flour, added mix of raisins and chocolate chips. baked 14 minutes due to the cashew butter. they do not spread without the real butter so I could pack them onto the tray pretty close together to bake. everyone loved them. definitely will keep making these. thank you for sharing your recipe

I rolled the cookies in cinnamon sugar and then flattened them with the bottom of a glass before baking. They came out great.

In reply to Julie. Hi Julie! Did they dome or just not spread? If they didn't spread you may have accidentally added too much flour. :(

By: Julie

Julie — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 01:36:31 +0000

My cookies domed and I flattened all of them with fork after pulled out of oven, they taste great but why would they dome so much? Any way to avoid that?

5/5!! Amazing cookies! I made a double batch the first time and I already have to make more! I added chocolate chips and my adult daughters both said they’re as good as chic fil a 😄 Today I’ll add raisins too.

I used sprouted oatmeal for my first batch because that was all I had. It was a little bit chewy. My next batch was with quick oats. I formed the cookies and put them in the refrigerator overnight. I did this because I wanted the flour and oatmeal to hydrate. These cookies were outstanding. Excellent taste. Your note about not putting more than 1 1/2 cups of extras into the dough was spot on. I love this recipe!

Can I use sprouted rolled oats for this recipe?
