Is Nutmeg Good In Oatmeal Cookies?

Yep! It as a warm nutty flavor to these cookies!

Oatmeal Cookies with Nutmeg Variations

Mix in fruit – Add in some dried cherries, cranberries, or raisins for some added sweetness and fun texture.
Chocolate – Either dice up some of your favorite chocolate or use chocolate chips. Either way works well and tastes great!
Other flavors – Consider adding butterscotch chips, M&Ms, or shredded coconut. They are all tasty options!
Nuts are great – Walnuts and pecans are my favorite, but you could also go for chopped almonds or pistachios. Yum!

What are the best oats to use?

The best oat to use is old-fashioned oats, which are generally cheap and work well in cookie recipes. Quick oats are also fine, but they’re a bit smaller in size and don’t hold together as well as old-fashioned oats do.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough. Flash freeze them first. Then, store them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag for up to two months. You don’t need to thaw the dough either! The cookies will take slightly longer to bake, so add 1-2 minutes of baking time. They’ll taste as delicious and are handy to keep on around for a quick dessert!
