Proof that I am not altogether altruistic. Thick and chewy oatmeal cookies because that’s what I wanted! This is a Smitten Kitchen recipe.
If you take a close look at the middle front cookie, its furthest edge over to the right, you can see that it is obviously well caramelized. Two of these cookies developed that same caramelization as they spread out into a wonderfully thin and lacy doily resembling a brandy snap. Despite that the appeal of these cookies is supposed to be that they are thick and chewy, I wolfed down those two. Just saying.
