Salted Oatmeal Cookies for Nanawu's teachers

I also made some salted caramel brownies that I will pack tomorrow.  

Will do a separate post about it.   

Silvannas Oatmeal Cookies

I've never liked oatmeal cookies but when I started baking, about less than a year ago, I figured I "needed" to make one as a "rite of passage".  Don't ask me why because I don't even know  why I ever thought of that.  And besides, when I started baking my own sweets, I realized how  much butter and sugar go into those yummy cookies, cakes and whathaveyous. So I told myself, oats would compensate for it.  Don't ask if it's true because I'm sure it was just my other self rationalizing.   So I tried it and I promise you, this has got to be one of the  best cookies I've ever baked and one that I can make again and again without having to try any other variety.  It's crispy and crumbly but still soft and chewy.  It's sweet and salty, kinda  like eating popcorn.  So here it is, presenting the recipe the way I tackled it.
