They should be very soft when you pull them out of the oven, since they firm up a lot when they cool. We’re they soft when they cooled after 20 min of baking? I’ve never left them in the oven for more than 11 min.

Nice tip on using less oil and more water! I don’t tend to go for healthy when I’m making desserts. They are cookies. Sugar and fat come with the territory.

We just made a batch to test your cookie recipe with poor results.

1/2 cup oil is a lot for cookies. If I were to make these again, I’d try 1/3 cup as the mixture was too oily. I also had to add additional water as the mixture was too dry. 6 Tbsp water in total. You could probably do this recipe using 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup water for best results.

The cookies didn’t bake in 11 minutes, so I added another 3 minutes. And another 3 minutes. And another 3 minutes. 20 minutes altogether, and the cookies were still not thoroughly “baked” in the center. The cookies taste good, but my partner pointed out it was because we were eating sugar and fat.

You can do either or a combo – your choice!

Very excited I found this! I’m planning on making cookie mix in jars for Christmas presents this year, and I had a dilemma because one of my best friends is Indian (doesn’t eat eggs.) I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a recipe in a jar for her.

Regardless of what type of barbecue sauce you are going to make, you will need a “base” before you can begin. Ideal bases for making a good BBQ sauce are favourites such as number 10 ketchup sauce, honey, mustard, brown sauce and fruit purée sauce bases.

Thanks for the tip – I only have pint sized jars and was about to (sadly) give up on this recipe until I saw your comment!

I made these, but I made them for Pint jars so I halved the recipe. I found that I needed to double the amount of water, because when I halved the recipe and added the oil and water the batter was waaaay too dry. I don’t know if that would be the case if I did not halve the recipe. That said, these are delicious and I am making them for all of my family for Christmas.

Do you use all white/brown sugar, or some combination?

This looks like a great idea, thanks!
