This is a big 'no'. Pale, not golden. Too much flour. Too chalky and while they held their form they all apart when you take a bite. I am looking for sweet, chewy, golden, sticky...oatmeal cookie. Not this.
So, I wanted a sort of shortbread sandie and I thought I could make this into what I hoped for. But Mimi Sheraton is a cookie goddess and it isn't good to mess with the work of a goddess. I used part WW flour, added a bit of wheat germ and some walnuts. The first sheet of cookies fell apart. All was well like most things in life with the addition of more butter.
I made these tonight with my family. They were the worst home made cookies I have ever made. They fell completely apart and had no flavor. I added two eggs and cinnamon hoping that would make them hang together and taste better, but they were still way too gritty, sandy and tasteless. Definitely do not spend the time to make these!
So I’m not much of a baker but was really in the mood for oatmeal cookies. These were not what I had in mind. I’m just glad to know it wasn’t me.
I added two beaten eggs, salt, and 1/4 cup of milk to salvage the dough. It worked
I agree this recipe is a total fail. I added an egg & some milk to half of recipe but that didn’t help.
