First, check your instructions. You mention MILK(line 4) and there is no milk in the recipe. I searched the internet to confirm. It is confusing. The cookie itself is bland. I believe it needs more spices. It also didn't need any refrigeration prior to baking. The dough is very stiff. I used my hands for the last step. I think there are better recipes out there for oatmeal cookies. I don't know how other folks feel, but I have never had real success with Martha's recipes with one exception, her gingerbread. Thanks!!
