need cookie dough help...

[cynatnite]

It's oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. It's too thick. Is a little bit of water or milk okay?

1. Milk

a tablespoon at a time til you get the right consistency

[Arugula Latte]

2. You could also add a dollop of applesauce -- adds moisture & flavor.

3. warning; if you add extra liquid they might turn a bit cakey on you

4. I would add a beaten egg

but I'm not an expert on it. Have you baked a test cookie yet?

[surrealAmerican]

5. Is it perhaps too thick because it's too cold?

If so, just leave it at room temperature until it loosens up.

If it's because there's too much flour and/or oatmeal in it, you could try adding a bit more softened butter to it.

8. Yep, more butter

They'll be crisper than if you add milk. You'll want to add a little more sugar, too.

11. Ditto on adding a little more butter

or oil.

6. Just add some bacon.

Bacon makes everything better.

7. and if they still have a problem, put a couple boobs on them

no one will notice how they taste.

9. Knead some help?

10. Probably too late by this time but

I would second the addition of applesauce or even a smidgen of canola oil. :hi:
