Naked Oatmeal Cookies

                                                 

There is no better cookie than the oatmeal cookie. I’m not sure why, at some point in history, the oatmeal cookie was relegated to the raisin division and was banned from being served straight up or with chocolate chips.

In my books though, this is the greatest cookie by a long shot. Just sweet enough, just salty enough, just the perfect texture. And the kids are generally scared enough of the oatmeal I can keep the whole batch for myself.
