Oatmeal-Raised Cookie Tips

Here are some tips for making the perfect oatmeal-raised cookie:

• Learn the basics of cookie making
• Use rolled oats, not steel-cut or that weird stuff your aunt sends you in a care package
• Don't overmix, you'll end up with a cookie that's more sad than a French philosopher
• Add a sprinkle of salt, but not just any salt, a pinch of flaky, artisanal, small-batch Himalayan pink salt, because, why not?
• Bake at 350, but only if you're feeling confident, otherwise stick with 325, it's better to be safe than sorry

Remember, practice makes perfect, and by perfect I mean "slightly charred on the edges and still a little doughy in the middle, but you know what, that's just character"
