What type of cookie is this? We had to look into this a bit.” (Ed Note: I am sure this is code for What The Hell This Is Not A Cookie) “This cookie includes oatmeal, walnuts, and bananas, along with chocolate chips. Guest reviewer CR was not impressed either: “And now for something very different. A great additional to the vegan baked goods collection, for sure. Great breakfast, or afternoon snack - but I am not sure I would serve these as a cookie. With a 1.5 TBS scoop, my cookies were little bigger, so I baked them for 12 minutes. I avoided the rather complicated instructions about sticky dough and wetting your hands by using this high-tech tool called a dough scoop. You could easily make these gluten-free with GF flour and oatmeal, I think. The dough is delicious - and vegan, so no “raw egg” concerns, if you are One Of Those People.

Holiday Baking Extravaganza 2021 happened. I did not buy any super special ingredients. I printed all the recipes, scanned the ingredients and spent about $60 on the stuff I did not have, like cake flour and coconut sugar - not including the cookie scoop that I have always wanted and finally bought. My brother challenged me to bake my way through the New York Times Top 11 Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes, mostly so maybe I would send him some to “taste-test.”
