i'm not very interested in oatmeal cookies. i made these for a friend, and i couldn't decide on a recipe, and i didn't know what he wanted; hard and crunchy, or soft and chewy. all i know is what a disaster these cookies turned out to be!
let me take you on a journey through my mishap:
- ok so first, i forgot to add the baking soda, which is probably why they're so flat. i realized my blunder after about 3 batches, and when i added the baking soda, i forgot to, you know, use less than the amount on the recipe.
- i had no white sugar so i used all brown sugar. you can definitely taste it, and i think it's what made the batter so runny.
- then, since oatmeal cookies are always a disappointment once you realize the raisins aren't chocolate chips, i added chocolate chunks. but i used way too many, so they completely overpowered the cookies.
- and after all this, i proceeded to mail them to my bestie in boston, and a week later when they arrived, they were stale.
the baking gods were not with me this day.
and neither was my head, i suppose.
you know what though? they all managed to get eaten, the ones i sent to my friend and the ones i left home for my family.
they turned out to be slightly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
next time i'll use chocolate chips instead of chunks and actually follow the recipe, but hey, i don't do oatmeal cookies and i ate these, so they must have been ok.
...or i'm just a cookie monster
