Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love love LOVE oatmeal raisin cookies, but I had no raisins. I figured this recipe looked simple enough that I couldn't mess it up.

I like how optimistic I was...

Ease of Recipe: 5/5- way way way EASY throw it all in  bowl, mix and plop on a pan. No prep work required at all.

Cooking Time: 4/5 I went the recommended 10 minutes at 350, they were crispy enough after 8 minutes though.

Taste: 3/5 the texture was too crumbly, but still sweet enough to curb my cravings for an oatmeal cookie!

Overall Review: 

I should have read the recipe carefully- DO NOT USE quick cook oats. It turned into this:

a delicious crispy chocolate granola mix that Chucky Sue inhaled at snack time. I left the second batch on the pan until this morning and they stayed in cookie form, but only just barely. It was super crumbly. But you can't go wrong with all that butter and sugar!

Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies

chosen because I didn't have any eggs or way to get eggs. laziness is the mother of invention.

or something.

Ease of Recipe: 4/5 stars- I had all these ingredients on hand. I didn't have to melt butter or grind my own flour.

Cooking Time: 2/5 this recipe only makes about 6-8 cookies, so 45 minutes is a tad longer than I want to want for instant satisfaction cookies.

Taste: 2/5 I don't prefer crunchy cookies, these would be good dunking cookies though! I think the flour-y aftertaste can be blamed on my inaccurate measuring.

Overall Review: 

this recipe mixed together really quickly, but to wait all this time is killing me! They didn't spread out at all, so they are very thick. (explaining the long cooking time) They are crunchy- much like a chipsahoy cookie- even when still warm. They are not super sweet and have a bit of a flour-y aftertaste.  Not my favorite cookie. These would be great if you need a small amount of cookies short notice.
