Cookie lovers usually fall into one of two camps: soft and chewy, or thin and crispy. If you're a thin and crispy fan, then these oatmeal cookies will be your new go-to recipe. They're both crunchy on the edges, but just soft enough in the middle, making them the perfect cookie combo. We love them plain, but you can also customize these cookies as you please. Keep them simple with chocolate chips or raisins, or go the white chocolate and dried cranberry route for a classic oatmeal cookie. That being said, we love a creative moment: throw in some peanut butter chips or even sesame seeds—you can't go wrong with these cookies.
If you have any leftover cookies, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for around 5 days.
