And then, at about 11 pm, I decided to get out of my nice comfy bed, and bake some cookies. That's a little odd, even for me. But hey, when cookies call, you gotta answer or you'll never get any sleep!!
So, I've got my first batch in the oven right now, and I'm anxious to see exactly how they're going to taste. The biggest changes I made to the recipe were to switch the flour to wheat flour (I wanted oat flour, but I couldn't find any this trip. Next time!!), and to substitute out the white sugar for Stevia sugar substitute.
My verdict so far?
Eh. Just so so. But that's only based on the dough. As any member of my family can tell you, I enjoy the dough almost more than the actual cookies! When I was younger, my dad practically had to pry the bowl away from me to get any actual cookies made!
Oooh! The first pan just came out of the oven! . . . They look like good cookies. And smell like good cookies. This is looking pretty promising actually. If you'll permit me to ramble on a little longer, I'll tell you how they taste once they cool down a bit.
. . . I do have a confession to make. I added in some sugar when I tasted the batter, cause it just didn't taste like the batter I know and love. So I may have to try this whole batch over again sometime, if I want to get some truly different results. But, it wasn't that much, so it's still a good base batch, I think.
These are actually really good! In the actual cookie, I don't taste any difference at all from the wheat flour, or the stevia (even though I cheated a bit!). My roommate just tried one, and I have an unbiased opinion that they are BETTER than my normal ones!
I may still mess around with it, but Round 1, I'd say, has been a success!
