a scookie

I had this wild non-PMS related sweet craving today. I looked up the basic choco chip cookie recipe in Vegan with a Vengence, and followed it exactly. Instead of dough, I get this dry mixture of mostly flour and turbinado sugar. What the hell? I decided to add 1 cup almond milk. Too soft. More flour. PERFECTO! Place them on a cookie pan and pop these babes in the oven. After 8 minutes, these are not looking like cookies. I let the bottoms get a little more golden and take them out. Once cooled I break one open and try it. Caky like a scone and not as sweet as a cookie. Thus, a scookie. Not bad, but not the oooey gooeyness I craved. Whatever.

Here are the little Frankensteins:





Ingredients from recipe:

1 cup nonhydrogenated margarine
1.25 cup sugar
1 tbsp molasses
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2.5 cups all purpose flour
1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Bake at 350 F for 8-10 mins.


If you can help me figure out what went wrong, that would be peachy keene. I'm not much of a baker.
