Notes

*For crispier cookies, use more granulated sugar or reduce one egg.
**Measure flour carefully to avoid cakey cookies (spoon and level or weigh)
***Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best chewy texture. Quick oats can be used, but cookies will be softer and less chewy.
****Do not overbake; centers should look slightly soft when removed. Cookies will firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.
