Notes

My basic oatmeal cookies
One can add walnuts, pecans, (I usually toast those and chop)
One could use my fruit mix for baking, and chop finely.. https://www.roguechef.com/?p=1660
I used a large amount of brown sugar as this attracts moisture and keeps the cookies soft and chewy
For those special batches, I'm known to add a tot or two of a good bourbon, or brush the finished cookies with bourbon. (Yes, I love to cook with Bourbon, sometimes I even put some in the food.)
