My Dad loved oatmeal cookies, and although my mom wasn’t a stellar baker or cook, she made him oatmeal cookies. A lot of oatmeal cookies. This recipe makes for crispy oatmeal cookies. Funnily enough, it took me many many years to get over my dislike of oatmeal cookies, but found myself craving a crispy oatmeal cookie texture. I found I love them when they’re fresh out of the oven, just cooled enough to handle. They are still crispy, but still warm enough to have a slight chew in the middle.<\/p>\n

Though I’m not dissing dunking a crispy oatmeal cookie in my coffee in the morning.<\/p>\n

I mean, it’s oatmeal, which is a breakfast item, right?!<\/p>\n

The only difference in this from my mother’s recipe was the addition of nutmeg.<\/p>\n
