Old fashioned rolled oats or "quick" oats? The recipe doesn't specify.

I believe it's the "Quick" oats.

I have used either of the Quaker oats products (the 1 minute "Quick" and the
5 minute "old fashioned) and they are interchangeable in cookie recipes.

The texture is different and you may find you prefer one to the other (I
prefer the old fashioned), but they are interchangeable in recipes.

The old fashioned "flakes" of oatmeal are bigger, so the oats are more
distinct. The "quick" are more like small flakes, and they blend into the
dough more thoroughly.

Funny you should ask...I just made these last night. I use the quick oats,
and I like to lightly toast them. It adds a whole new dimension to the
flavor when they're finished.

Toasting the oatmeal sounds like a good idea. Thanks.

I'm gonna leave out the cinnamon and use up some leftover chocolate chips
instead of the butterscotch chips.

i would go for the good old fashioned ones, you can't beat them. jumbo
oats if you can get them.

Agreed...I never use the quick-cooking sort. Our local health co-op sells
extra thick oats and I use them in tons of baked goods (and home-made
granolas).
