I heard everyone talking about Rocky Mountain cookies a while back, but I’d never heard of them before. Seriously, everywhere I go someone is saying something about making these. So, the other night a scout group was doing service and needed some cookies so I whipped up a batch of these. It’s a little bit of everything and totally worth it.
What Is The Difference Between Old Fashioned Oats and Quick Oats?
Old fashioned oats are rolled whole-grain oat kernels.
Quick oats are made by first cutting the oat kernel into small pieces, before being rolled.
Quick oats absorb water better than old fashioned oats.
Can You Substitute Quick Oats for Old Fashioned?
For baking quick oats can be used in place of old fashioned oats.
But, if a recipe calls for quick oats, you may not get the same results with old fashioned oats.
How Long Will Cookies Keep?
Freshly baked cookies will last for about 2-3 weeks at room temperature.
Crisp cookies should be stored loosely covered.
Soft, moist cookies should be stored in an air tight container or a zip lock bag.

You asked for egg in the instructions but do not list it in the ingredients. Extremely disappointing as I needed a recipe that did not require them. The cookies lacked a binding agent but some water did the trick. They turned out okayish but I’m black listing your site.

The picture at the top of the post does not match the picture at the top of the recipe. I’m guessing the second picture is correct since it is chocolate.

Oh my goodness, Joy! I don’t know how this happened, but that’s the totally wrong recipe card for that post. I’m working on getting it corrected now. Thank you so much for alerting me to the error!

Wait?!? Where did the old devil’s food cake cookies go? I made these for a cookie exchange in December and people loved them! I went to make them again and it’s gone.
We called them mount killamenjaro cookies.

I’m so sorry Lindsay! Yes, I have it somewhere. I corrected this recipe card to be the recipe for the Rocky Mountain cookies shown in the picture. I have a couple of crazy days coming up here, but I’ll look for it and post it asap.

I think it may depend where you are from. I have had this recipe many times, by different names. In Houston, Tx, they were Cowgirl Cookies. In St. Louis, Mo, they are Crispy Cookies, and in Southern Florida, where I lived for a couple years, they were Ranger Cookies. No matter what we called them, they were always delicious!

I can’t stop eating them no matter what they are called…haha!

I have had similar cookies, but I've never heard them called Rocky Mountain Cookies. I wish I had one right now!!
