So this post marks the beginning of my documented adventures outside of pasta cooking...
I made this a couple days ago and the last I checked there is only one left in the kitchen of the shared house I live in, so I thought I should do the cookies justice by writing about them before the last one disappears. The recipe was from The Joy of Cooking.
This is the second time I baked in USA.. The first time was a pear and persimmon pie that I and some of my housemates made. For whatever reason, I misread the ingredients and put in about 2 cups of sugar instead of 2 tbps for the crust. In my opinion, the pie turned out to be sickeningly sweet, though some of my housemates seem to really like it before they realised I put in the wrong quantity of sugar.... taste difference between Americans and Aussies?
Luckily, no such disaster this time around (!) In fact, the cookies turned out to be pretty good (if I may say so myself). I made four batches, averaging, nine cookies per batch, from the recipe. I overcooked the last batch a little, but I didn't mind it at all as I prefer crunchy cookies over soft ones. These are dangerously yummy and I can only reason that there is rolled oats in them, so maybe, just maybe, they would help lower the cholesterol that the butter will surely raise...well, that's my story and I am sticking to it ;-P
