This is my husband’s favorite cookie. \u00a0I made 200+ of them as favors for our wedding guests. \u00a0After trying many recipes I found that the one on the bottom of the lid of the Quaker Oats container was my favorite. \u00a0But when I saw this one in my Test Kitchen cookbook I thought I’d give it a try. \u00a0You know, for research. \u00a0They are quite good and may give the Quaker recipe a run for its money.<\/p>\n

But really a fair comparison can’t be made. \u00a0I’d probably have to have them side by side to decide which is better. \u00a0These are puffier and more tender than the others, they are more full of oats and are flavored with nutmeg instead of cinnamon. \u00a0I kind of missed the cinnamon, so I’d add some the next time. \u00a0I might also add more raisins.<\/p>\n

I accidentally added 2 extra egg yolks to these, which I would do again. \u00a0It makes for a cakier texture that I don’t always like, but was nice here. \u00a0How do I accidentally add 2 extra egg yolks, you ask? \u00a0On the same page as this recipe is a recipe for chocolate chip cookies. \u00a0I’d thought about making those but then decided on the others. \u00a0But I still had the egg amount from the other recipe in my head and didn’t realize my mistake until I’d already mixed up the dough. \u00a0Kind of reminded me of that Friends episode where the pages of a cookbook stick together when Rachel is making something and it ends up being a combination of some dessert and pot pie. \u00a0Maybe I’m not remembering that exactly right. \u00a0Anyway, thankfully this was a happy accident!<\/p>\n
