I tried baking oatmeal raisin cookies. This is what I got.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly. For one, I mixed the flour and sugar, not the sugar and butter. I couldn't get the oats and dried fruit to mix with the dough correctly. I figure it's because I messed up the dough. I used raisins, cranberries, and cherries. I had a dried fruit mix I wanted to use in cookies. This pan looks better than the other pan. I ate one to try. It tastes good but I think it could have been better.

Looks like you may have crowded them a bit. Still, they look decent.

You might also try cutting them into rectangles or squares- they look like they’d have the firmness to retain that kind of shape. Actually...if that works...

Squares or rectangles with a little less batter would make for a thinner, crispier finished product, which you could then stack in layers with your favorite fruit preserves. That could kick serious ass!

They're crowded because I tried making them bigger to get more of the oats in them. It didn't mix well. The recipe says it makes 24. I ended up with 15. The other pan has bigger more smooshed cookies. One other thing I did was use maple flavored syrup instead of honey. Next time I try this I'll follow the instructions better. I think I might do 2 tsps of cinnamon instead of 1. Baking has never been my strength. Have to follow to recipe or it goes to hell.

I like your idea. Another option for those not a fan of fruit preserves. Icecream. Serve warm in a bowl with icecream on top.

If I make them too crispy, they may be too hard for my mom to eat. She's missing her bottom dentures. She can't eat hard stuff.

Space Cicadas!

I am again perplexed as to what you are talking about, but Golden Cicada From Outer Space sounds very ominous...

...or crumbled on top of your scoops. I’ve done that before- it's a winner.

I didn't think about it until my mom mentioned granola. I asked her to pick up some yogurt to eat with the cookies. She brought up having granola at home. I said the cookies might be more like granola than cookies.
