Give me a handful of good oatmeal cookies any day. I like to use quick-cooking oats for the recipe that follows; but you could substitute old-fashioned rolled oats if you’d prefer coarser, chewier cookies. Of course, my recipe includes just about everything I like to add to a bowl of oatmeal in the morning: butter, sweet spices, brown sugar, raisins and walnuts. If you like, try replacing the raisins with dried cranberries or dried cherries. In fact, you might want to hide this article from the children, or they’ll demand cookies for breakfast!
