- Why did they spread too much?
- Butter was too hot or the pan was warm. Chill dough for 30 mins before baking.
- Why hard?
- Overbaked. Remove when centers still look soft. They firm up on the pan.
Chewy Oatmeal Walnut Cookies
A rustic, real oatmeal cookie. Not a hard puck, but crispy edges with a chewy center. The fiber of the oats and richness of butter are a perfect pair, complemented by crunchy walnuts. Unbeatable with a glass of milk.
