Notes
Comparison to the Original Chick-fil-A Cookie
In my opinion, our cookies are softer, possibly because I prefer to slightly under bake them. While many recipes recommend longer baking times, I personally can't bring myself to do it 😂. I'll always lean towards softer cookies, but you can bake yours longer if you prefer.
According to, Katarina frank a Chick-fil-A cookie enthusiast, she noticed their cookies had slightly more oats, but overall, she found the flavor to be spot on. I'll consider that a win.
