I am an oatmeal cookie aficionado always on the lookout for another great recipe. I’ve never added buttermilk to my oatmeal cookies and am assuming this creates a softer cake like version. Am wondering how you would describe the texture?
Thanks

Martha- no, these were not cakey! Just a normal sort of chocolate chip cookie texture.
