Oatmeal Rocks

The dough can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before scooping to soften slightly. Alternatively, portion the dough onto baking sheets, freeze until solid, then transfer to freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.

Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Place a piece of bread in the container to help maintain softness. For longer storage, freeze cookies in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
