  3. In another bowl, whisk 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 0.5 teaspoon baking soda, and the spices, then gradually incorporate into the wet ingredients.
  4. Scoop tablespoon amounts of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown at the edges and soft in the center.
