Warm oatmeal chocolate chip raisin cookies

[carbonel]

Last night I...hmm, what is the right word? "Cooked" is wrong, and "assembled" sounds odd, and "stirred up" is too casual. In any case, I made the dough for the cookies last night, but it was too warm in the house for baking. When the thermometer hit 81 degrees F, I turned on the air conditioner.

This afternoon, I rolled out the cookies and baked them. This is my second attempt at playing with the recipe; the version from the website (bottom one on this page: http://byfaithonly.com/Recipes/OatmealCookie.html) makes a very sticky dough and has to come out of the oven at the exact right moment or it burns or is underdone. On judith_dascoyne's recommendation, I tried adding an extra quarter-cup of flour to the recipe. It seems to have done the trick -- the dough is easier to roll out, and I haven't had a burnt batch since.

Most of these will be going to Wiscon for the bake sale, but I'll keep a few for me.

Tea party, anyone?

That is a perfectly valid viewpoint, but it is not my viewpoint. There was this one time that I only had a half-cup each of chocolate chips and raisins, so I used both, and I discovered that I like my oatmeal cookies that way. Not all the time, necessarily, but definitely sometimes.

The cookies all disappeared, in any case.

"The cookies all disappeared, in any case. "

No surprise there.
