When you are baking this cookie or any drop cookie, you should let them bake until they are just short of fully cooked. When you take them out of the oven, they should be too soft to handle. Leave the cookies on the hot baking sheet for five minutes. There, they will continue to bake just on the bottom giving you a solid foundation and a perfectly soft top.  After five minutes, move them to a baking rack to cool. Voila, perfectly cooked Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies.
