There are those days when you want to bite into an oatmeal cookie that’s a little over the top.\u00a0\u00a0 A\u00a0 superlative chewy cookie with just the right amount of\u00a0 old fashioned rolled oats, nuts, chocolate and fruit.\u00a0 A cookie with deep molasses flavor, light and crisp on the outside and chewy, dense and soft in the center. A cookie of such divine decadence that just one cookie is simply not enough.\u00a0 This may just be the ultimate, outrageous oatmeal cookie.<\/p>\n

This is an oatmeal cookie recipe you can claim as your own.\u00a0 Substitute pecans or hazelnuts for the walnuts or dried cranberries for the cherries.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Quick oats can be substituted for the old-fashion oats, but they will yield a cookie with slightly less chew.\u00a0\u00a0 Other than the options be sure to follow the remaining ingredients to the letter.\u00a0 It is the extra moisture found in brown sugar and the combination of baking powder and baking soda that produces a cookie\u00a0 that is thin,\u00a0 light and crisp on the outside, and chewy in the middle.\u00a0 These cookies really spread so be sure to allow a generous\u00a0 2 to 2 1\/2 inches between cookies.<\/p>\n
