Question About Adding Extra Ingredients To Cookies
Baking By Chef_Mommy Updated 20 Dec 2005 , 10:35pm by hamie
have this really great chocolate chip cookie recipe and I want to add ground oatmeal to them I think they would taste great but my question is If I add the oatmeal do I have to omit any other ingredient? or do I have to add any thing extra? Please help I want to make these for my gift baskets.
Thanks

Oatmeal tends to dry the batch a bit. If you have the Quaker Oats recipe for Vanishing Oatmeal cookies, look at it and compare the ratio of dry ingredients to those in your chocolate chip recipe. However, if you have a great cookie recipe, why change it? If you add chocolate chips and raisins to the Vanishing Oatmeal recipe, it is a wonderful cookie- add pecans and oooohhh my.
I like this recipe because it uses pudding in the mix and the cookies are very soft and good but I want the taste of oatmeal. They sell a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie at a sandwhich shop here called Potbellys and I love their cookies and thats what I am trying to copy. Maybe I'll try the ones you suggested and see how that goes.
