Dog Poison Cookies IV

Roman numerals look cool huh? Here's the latest revision on the recipe. They came out pretty good, but... well, actually, they were in my opinion the worst yet. They need more sweetness, which I think was a major thing missing from V2, and I realize now that at some point I reduced the amount of sugar in the chocolate chip cookie recipe I'd been working on this year, but did not account for effect the switch to whole wheat would have in doing so. I think I have figured out what I want in the next recipe: more oats, more chocolate, more sweet. Everything else should stay the same, I think. I'm planning on bringing these to a party this weekend, so I may have to do a few experimental batches this week to get the formula just right.


Here's the recipe, anyway. I'm mostly posting so I can reference it in the future if I need to. Posting recipes on my blog has proven very helpful lately, by the way. Instead of constantly crossing out notes on my original recipe, I can just refer to the latest edition via laptop and adjust as I see fit. I type out the new recipe as I mix it, and it will be ready for next time. But this morning I had a major problem caused by a typo I made in my sourdough pancake recipe, in which I put a T instead of a t for the amount of salt (causing me to use 300% of the salt I'm supposed to!). I edited the post so it's correct though, so no more poisonous pancakes for me.
