Tips for Baking the Best Oatmeal Cookies
- Butter and eggs need to be at room temperature. This will ensure an even, well baked batter.
- Use the best quality ingredients. I prefer organic old fashioned oats, and organic brown eggs.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, leave enough space between cookies so they can bake without sticking together.
- Once out of the oven, leave cookies in the baking sheet for two minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Hide them, if you want them to last!!!
Enjoy!!
