This cookie (Spiced Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookie) has potential. As you can see, there were some technical difficulties. A few factors to take into account: I made a half recipe and I am notoriously bad at halve-ing recipes successfully, also the recipe calls for rye flakes with the option of subbing in more oats if you don’t have rye flakes. I have no clue what a rye flake looks like let alone how it affects baking, but based on how my cookies turned out I would guess that the rye flakes act as a better binding agent than the oats.
Notes: Next time I would either buy rye flakes or sub the 1/2 cup rye flakes for 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup oats rather than just 1/2 cup of oats. Also the recipe calls for dark chocolate but I used milk chocolate which I had in the house. Would not recommend milk chocolate, it makes them a bit too sweet.
Going off of how my attempt turned out I give these cookies the following rating:
Overall: 2/5
Flavor: 4/5
Texture: 2.5/5 (big possibility this was user error)
I want to try these again because I think I would love them if they were the thickness of the cookies shown in the recipe and if I used dark chocolate.
