Oatmeal Base Dough

These only get three stars because 1) the recommended technique of kneading the dough is tedious 2) I think the amounts called for are slightly off (or if the Amazon reviews are to be believed, the measurements are very off!) 3) in the end this wasn't a stellar or even a stand out cookie in flavor or texture:(
The dough is very wet and the author warns of "overworking" the dough, then asks you to turn it out on a floured surface and finish mixing by "using a gentle kneading motion". The one thing this does accomplish is getting more flour into the dough (and maybe she is accounting for that in her measurements) but it is messier than any "drop" cookie recipe should be.
