4. Drop by cookie scoops full onto parchment paper then light press down. Let cool.
5. You may have to cool in the fridge or freezer. Store in the fridge. This is more like a fudge "cookie".
6. You could experiment and add more oats to see if it becomes firmer. But I love the gooey fudge like texture and flavor.
