Note

For variety, stir in one of the following ingredients along with the oats: 1 cup raisins, 1 cup chopped salted peanuts, 6 oz (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate pieces, or 1 cup flaked or shredded coconut.

Use quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats depending on your preferred texture; old-fashioned oats will yield a chewier cookie.

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
