Open in Pepper →An oatmeal cookie is the one everybody eats. It uses what's already in the pantry, it bakes up soft in the middle with crisp edges, and it keeps for days in a tin on the counter.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when there's a bake sale Friday, a lunchbox to fill, or a rainy afternoon that needs something in the oven.
Every recipe here is a real oatmeal cookie, from Thin & Chewy Cinnamon Apple to Butterscotch, Salted Caramel, Bakery-Style Chewy Pecan, Double Chocolate, banana cookies made with applesauce, and no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies for the nights you don't want the oven on.
Use old fashioned oats
Rolled oats give the chew; quick oats turn to mush. Measure a full cup and don't pack it down.
Chill the dough
Thirty minutes in the fridge keeps cookies from spreading thin and deepens the brown sugar flavor.
Pull them early
Take them out at 9 to 11 minutes when the centers still look underdone — they finish setting on the hot pan.
Cool before icing
Let cookies sit 20 minutes until completely cool, or the glaze will slide right off and soak in.
