I had approximately 2 cups of Rolled Oats left over!I had got the best Oats some 5 months back and enjoyed a delicious porridge with honey and fresh fruits many times for breakfast.Unfortunately the jar of Oats stood near a newly bought jar of Coffee once overnight and then the better half would not have them as he complained of a â€œpeculiar smellâ€ in the porridge.I could well discern a slight aroma of Coffee but it is a tradition if he does not like something,it would be lying untouched till I did not do something about it! I hammered my head on many options before opting for a crispy cookie.As a rule my better half does not like chewy cookies while he prefers the crispy ones.However these cookies are delicious chewy and crispy â€“ both ways.He bit into one and fell in love with it!He calls himself a food critic and hearing praises of anything means it is really delicious!I referred the recipe from Melâ€™s Kitchen Cafe and adapted the recipe to suit my needs â€“ the result was a super tasty and wow cookie which was enjoyed dunked in cold milk flavoured with butterscotch essence! The link for the referred recipe : https://www.melskitchencafe.com/thin-and-crispy-oatmeal-cookies/ You can flavour the milk with any essence you want or just have it plain!The first batch of cookies came out chewy and the second batch made thinner than the first came out crispy!Really really delicious!

Notes

I made the cookies with rolled Oats. Do not go for the quick cooking instant Oats as you will not get the same rugged and rustic texture like these cookies.

You can add extra ingredients like Choco Chips, Broken candies, chopped caramels or raisins for mouthwatering flavours!
