2 Oatmeal Cookie Recipes to Try

I don't like chocolate chip cookies (insane, I know!), but I do love a good oatmeal cookie. Both these recipes call for sprinkling coarse salt over the cookies before they go in the oven—sounds like an excellent idea to me.

Alaina, out of all my RSS feeds, I always read yours first. Really! (Well, OK, I use Outlook to do the RSS thing and it displays them in alphabetic order, but nevertheless, it's a great blog.) I'm glad to see someone else say she's not real partial to CC cookies, and it's really unusual to see someone of the female persuasion say that, but whatever. I agree. Oatmeal cookies are my favorite, and I've perfected my own recipe as well. (That said, I do have a killer CC cookie recipe, and a prize-winner too, but it's not my fav.) I don't think I'll try the Cook's Illustrated one, because I'm judging by the name that it's not a chewy cookie. I'm not real partial to crunchy cookies except for shortbread and ginger snaps, which have to be that way. Thanks for the recipes.

Bob - thanks for reading A Full Belly first! :) Crunchy vs Chewy: that's a tough call, but I have a slight preference for a little bit of crunch when it comes to oatmeal cookies. Enjoy the recipes!

Guess who also had an oatmeal cookie recipe on her blog: Meg Tilly! No kidding. Go check it out.

Now I HAVE to bake some cookies! Her recipe looks like a good, all-around oatmeal cookie recipe.
