Notes

Make sure to use quick cooking oats, regular oats will not soften and will create a different texture. Make sure you beat enough air into the filling that is smooth. If it’s not smooth enough it will be difficult to squeeze out of the bags. The cookies are going to spread, the cookies pictured are 2 tbsp capacity, for smaller cookies stick with the 1 tbsp recommendation
