No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies
Chewy chocolate oatmeal cookies that set on the counter, rounded out with vanilla and a pinch of salt - boiling the sugar mixture for a full, exact minute, not less and not more, is what makes these actually set instead of staying gooey or turning crumbly, and the salt and vanilla keep them from tasting flatly sweet.
