Where's the egg? (probably should be 2 eggs for that much flour)
This recipe had no eggs, though are you saying the eggs would make the cookies more cake-like? PickyPonders
The recipe wasn't correct the way you posted it - there is absolutely no liqiud to handle the flour and oatmeal. It should have had eggs at the very least - they should be a little cakey with eggs .... is there any way you can check the source of the recipe to see what exactly is missing?
