Frequently asked

Are these the same as your Oatmeal Cookies?+

No \u2014 those are the classic butter-and-sugar kind; these are the maple-and-almond-butter kind that happen to be legal before 8 a.m.

Can I substitute the almond butter?+

Peanut butter or sunflower seed butter both work \u2014 expect a slightly different personality.

Why did mine fall apart?+

They were moved off the pan too soon; the 10-minute rest is when they firm up.
