Trust us, you don’t want to skip this step. You can grind up your own oats or just grab a bag of oat flour if you have other recipes in which you can use it, either way is fine. Once your dough is made, the only thing you have to decide is whether you want large cookies or extra-large cookies. We can confirm, again, due to extensive testing, that both ways are great and that regardless of size, you’ll be eating more than one of these. It’s inevitable, you’ll see!
