Perfect Oatmeal Cookies
"These cookies are wildly delicious, and though we've been making them for just over a year, they are one of my absolute all-time favorites. This is not your usual cakey, raisiny, cinnamony kind of oatmeal cookie. Instead they're buttery-edged and crisp but also teeth-stickingly chewy. Plus, they're a strange and beautiful color -- a kind of ruddy burnished gold that is very appealing. My family just loves them; everybody always loves them...."
