Created by Chef Carol, these soft oatmeal cookies get their signature flavor from a blend of stewed Subarashii Kudamono Dried Asian Pears and Asian Pear Spread (sold together in our Gourmet Gift Box). With oats, vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon, they bake up chewy and fragrant—familiar, yet quietly elevated with orchard sweetness in every bite.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

1 cup Asian Pear Spread
