Warm oatmeal chocolate chip raisin cookies

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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?

"The cookies all disappeared, in any case. "

No surprise there.
