I thought these were great. And unlike others, I really didn't think it needed any modifications. It really DID seem like the dough/batter was just "wrong", it looked wrong, felt wrong, and seemed like it would never become a cookie, because it was just a blob of oatmeal coated in stuff and didn't have much cohesion at all. I DID have a huge urge to modify it (and adding more flour was my top compulsion), but I resisted. Once baked they were perfect. I think the key is to get them out at the right time. 12 minutes in my oven (notoriously under-powered) was quite undercooked, so I had to go 13-14 minutes to have them turn out right. Just know your oven, and adjust accordingly, that's my best advice. At least make them un-tweaked once so you know what you're changing. IF I were going to change anything next time it would probably be a little less sugar and (gasp) I'd omit the chocolate chips. I just loved the nutty earthy oatmeal of this cookie and wanted less distraction from it. Great recipe, thanks for sharing. Edited to add: This works absolutely fine with old fashioned oats. We don't use quick oats in my family, so that's all we had, and all we wanted, and it turned out perfect, fine and yummy.
