More cookie doom

*sigh*

They look good. They taste alright. But they are dry, and not chewy, not moist.

They'll still be gone in minutes.

If I had as much trouble cooking as I do with cookies, we'd have take-out every night.
It's not even all of baking! I can bread! I can cake! I can frost and bunt and pastry and souffle! Pie and Panna Cotta and Pralines! Just not so good at cookies....

.. I can't caramel or flan either.

I'm thinking you're baking them too long at too low a temperature. Try making another batch, cut it in half, add applesauce, same temp and time. The second half, raise the temp and decrease the cooking time. Or, call them "Lembas cookies" and talk like hobbits.
