Interesting idea though. Does the recipe say dry or cooked?

I use old fashioned or the slow oatmeal - makes the cookies crunchier. Just my preference.

I like to drink while I bake or into a long cooking project.

Good luck with the cookies.

Merry Christmas.

Old fasioned oats are just that. Milled oats your grandmother would cook.

Quick oats are sinply the same stuff milled thinner so it cooks faster.

Instant oats are chemically treated during production and really have no point since quick oats cook so fast. (under 1 minute)

Those are all rolled oats, usually steamed and rolled flat.

Steel cut are morw expensive but nutritionally not that much better. And they take a lot of time to cook.

Groats are simply the whole grain and take forever to cook.

Sooo... for breakfast I use whatever's on sale and avoid anything not rolled flakes.

For cookies, i don't see any reason no to experiment with various rolled oats and see how they taste. I never saw the difference between 1 and 5 minutes cooking time in either quick or old fasioned oats. Beware marketing scams, as with everything else.

I've come to prefer them to rolled oats for oatmeal (made in a rice cooker so the timer can be set to have them ready for breakfast) but haven't tried tried them in any recipes.

worth the extra cost or cooking time and just never buy them.

I suspect, however, that the long cooking time means that precooking the oats would be essential. If you like steel cut, experiment and find out for sure.

just scoop and use. If it calls for a cup of prepared standard oatmeal, that has to be cooked.

Mmmmmm, oatmeal cookies, one of the few things that isn't chocolate that is still worth the calories.

they don't have the right consistency for successful results in any baked product

(of course I do not eat it either)

I use Old Fashioned Rolled Oats for cooking.

I eat steel cut. Mix them with frozen berries and some water and microwave 6 or 7 minutes depending on how powerful your microwave. I like to use a larger diameter dish so they are spread out (cook more evenly)

Maybe they are nutritionally equivalent but definitely more fiber

Otherwise, grill it over medium heat until internal temp is 145F.
