Note

Store cookies tightly covered in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.

For a vegan variation, ensure the margarine used is plant-based and substitute egg whites with a vegan egg replacer or additional flax meal mixed with water.

If you prefer a chewier texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats.

Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool. Remove them when they are just golden to avoid hardness.
