Quick: think of the perfect cookie. Is it soft and chewy, or crisp and crunchy? The debate rages on. But many will agree, that when it comes to oatmeal cookies, both aspects are key. Perfection is a crispy exterior, bottom, and edges, with just a bit of chewiness in the interior when first cooled.

Here are some tips! Don’t add more sugar, thinking that it will make your cookies sweeter. It will actually make them too hard. On the other hand, don’t use margarin because it contains too much water, which makes cookies too soft. Don’t let your butter fully soften because it makes cookies spread out too much. Also, be sure to use fresh baking soda.

Our cookie recipe below has balanced spices, the right amount of saltiness, and amazing texture from the dried fruit and nuts. You won’t be disappointed! Happy baking!
