Every oatmeal cookie recipe that I've come across calls for quick oats. What will be the outcome of my cookies if I use the regular oats instead? Is there really that much difference between the two? Other than cook time, I mean.

The quick cooking oats are thinner and break apart more easily causing recipes to be drier because of the fine oat flour.
The old fashioned oats are thicker and should be added at the end of the ingredients and hand stirred into the dough to keep the oats from breaking apart. You can see the oats in this recipe vs using the quick cooking oats. I have a special container just for old fashioned oats for baking cookies with. I also add Craisins (dried cranberries) instead of raisins.
Both types of oats work in your cookies but you will get less volume of oats if you use old fashioned oats due to whole grains vs thinner and powdery quick cooking.

Some recipes call for regular oats. You can use them for cookies, there won't be much difference but here is a recipe if you don't want to chance it. It is the quaker oats recipe
1 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups oats(with this recipe you can use any kind of oats)
1 cup raisins(optional)
Heat oven to 350
Beat together butter and sugars til creamy
Add eggs and vanilla and beat well
Add combined flour, soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well
Drop by Tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet, remove to wire rack.

I fear if you use regular oats that the oats will still have a "raw" taste and texture to them when the cookies are done. The reason they say to use quick cook is because cookies do not have a lot of liquid, plus they typically do not cook for more than 8 or 10 minutes.

Even the baking time will not make a lot of difference. However the texture will be courser. The one min will not bake into the cookie as quickly as the instant one does. The flakes of oatmeal will still be someone visible. However you may find that you like them that way better. I have even made oatmeat recipes using the 5 min cooking oats.

Yes there would be a difference - trust me I tried this once. All you need to do though is put your "regular" oats in a blender until they are "fine". Then use them in your recipe. That is the only difference between regular oats and "quick" oats. The quick oats are "finer". Have fun. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my favorite so I've experimented a lot with oatmeal. :)
