Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Yes. Quick oats will make the cookies a bit softer and less chewy, but they still work well.

Can I make them nut-free?

Absolutely. Use seeds instead of walnuts, and skip the peanut butter or use a seed-based spread.

Can I skip the cranberries?

You can! Substitute raisins, chopped dates, or dried cherries.

Can I make these cookies without peanut butter?

Yes. The peanut butter is optional—leave it out or replace with a nut/seed butter of your choice.
