Notes
I use and prefer salted butter for all my baking. However, if you prefer unsalted butter, increase the salt to 1 teaspoon.
For oatmeal raisin cookies, add in 1 cup raisins and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to cookie dough before scooping.
For oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, add in 1-1 1/2 cups chocolate chips to cookie dough before scooping.
