Notes

Notes

• Quick oats or large flake oats both work in this recipe. Quick oats create a slightly softer cookie, while large flake oats give the cookies a heartier.
• Chinese five-spice blends vary by brand. If the flavor seems strong, reduce the amount slightly to suit your taste.
• Black sesame seeds add nutty flavor and visual contrast but do not significantly change the texture of the cookies.
