    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    These are the Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies that Hoot was referring to. Just make a homemade icing and use it between two cookies to make the cream filled cookie. YUMMY! I would really rather not rate the recipes that were shared with me because, 1st of all it would be extremely difficult, as...

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    I've seen the Princess flavor before but was afraid to get it because it has that citrus flavor and these cookies don't have that. Do you actually taste the citrus/lemon flavor or is it more of a nutty/vanilla? I did buy a Baker's Mystery Flavor but it didn't work for me. It has a strong taste...

    That Quaker recipe is good (very good!). I've had so many oatmeal cookies this week...I'm getting a bit tired of 'em. Can't believe I just said that, lol. I picked salsa and chips for my dessert this evening!

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    I was thinking of trying nutmeg earlier this week and I didn't have any on hand. I'll get some and give it a try. I'm thinking some real vanilla flavor might be good too (I only have imitation). Thank you ALL so much for your input...it has helped me so much. I've been working on this for a...

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    Okay I made both recipes. Bake Chef, I made your's yesterday because we had friends over and I thought it best to use a 'tested' recipe on them. They LOVED it. My kids LOVED it. It isn't the same as the one I'm trying to duplicate, but it is a hit for sure. I even shared it with another friend...

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    These look just like them!!! I've got to try this! The ingredients aren't the same but they look so good... I wonder if they've fudged on the ingredients list. You know maybe like naming brown sugar but not white sugar. I wonder if you're required to list every single ingredient or if you can...

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    Really? How much corn syrup would I use with the two egg white I have left over from the cookies? I'm not sure that's what this icing is made of though...but I'd be willing to give it a try! Also, I've been using light brown sugar and dark corn syrup. Wondering if I should use light for both...

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    Chief Longwind: Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! I can't wait to give this a shot. I'll probably have to wait until Sat to try it out but I'll let you know how it turns out. BakeChef: I've been asking myself that same question all day. I'm wondering if maybe they use a flour icing and they...

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    I talked to the bakery today and they said there are no spices only the ingredients listed on the box (which I listed in my original post). I am so befuddled. I removed an egg and some flour and now it's too thin and too sweet. And the cookie is too light. It doesn't even taste like theirs. :(

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    The bakery is in (southern) VA. What is vanilla cream (fluff) vanilla? Is it like vanilla extract? I googled it but couldn't find anything here in the states. I've made a recipe with marshmellow fluff and another with butter instead of shortening but they aren't right. This is a cake icing but...

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    Chief Longwind, that sounds so good. My mouth is watering for waffles now. The ingredients list I have for these cookies doesn't have margarine or yeast listed so I doubt it's the same...although these sound so good they may even be better.

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    Brown sugar cookies! What a great idea! I bet that's why mine are lighter in color than theirs. I have noticed also that they use much less oatmeal than all the recipes I've looked at. I made some today (can't get my pic to load...I'll try again later) and the texture is right but the color and...

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    I have no idea how I missed those. I've checked cooks.com before but it may have been before I got my ingredients list. So I checked those out and they are both very close. The oatmeal cream has all of the ingredients except Molassess instead of corn syrup, an easy substitute I'd guess. And it...

    Hello fellow cooks :)

    I'm not sure I should lump myself in the same catagory with you folks, I'm not the best cook around. However, I do a lot of cooking because I have a family of six and we rarely eat out. I also homeschool so we eat three meals a day at home most of the time. I joined this site mainly to get help...

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    Wow thanks everyone for your replies! I've used the Quaker recipe and they are very very good but it just doesn't compare to these (sorry, lol). As for the filling I use powder sugar, shortening, and a little water. It comes out sweeter than their's. They told me one thing to change about my...

    Oatmeal cookie challenge

    Hi, My children and I have fallen in love with a cream-filled oatmeal cookie at a local bakery. Basically it's two large, soft oatmeal cookies with icing in between. I have 4 children and these cookies are $1.25 each so it's getting pretty expensive. We are trying to figure out how to make...
