Can Anyone Help?

What in the holy Hanna happened to my chocolate chip cookies lol? I always use the Nestlé tollhouse recipe and substitute flax egg for egg. I have made this recipe dozens of times and they never look like this. I have two suspicions… My flex meal is old but I keep it in the freezer. I normally use earth balance but I only had one stick so I used country crock plant based butter for the other stick. And I always see how you're supposed to refrigerate the dough so I did that.

They do taste good… They are both crispy and chewy. But they look hideous and I would never offer these to my friends. My family didn't care so we ate them yesterday.

I did not bake up all of the cookie dough so I still have a good amount in my refrigerator and I'm just wondering if there's something I could do to salvage it. I almost feel like it needs more flour. They are very buttery.

It looks like the fat wasn't solid enough. I see the difference when using Flora and other softer spreads. Was the dough chilled?

Yes...I specifically chilled it because I had been seeing recently that you should refrigerate the dough. Oddly enough, if you need them in the past, I never chilled the dough and never had this problem. They always came out fine.

Heh I would have guessed you'd made Pirathas from the first pic @KLS52 ! Whatever the reason, you could try baking what's left in a muffin tray.

I wondered about that. I might give it a go.

They kind of reminded me of lace cookies only with bumps(from the chocolate chips lol).

@KLS52 I use Country Crock plant sticks, but I don't use the Toll House recipe, or flax egg. I mostly use PPK recipe, with oil, but less than called for-these make good bar cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Milk & Cookies. It’s like they have to have the ampersand to connect them, writing out a-n-d would just ruin everything. I don’t know that there is a more comforting snack. Not like best friend died, global warming, McCain is president comfort; but just like early evening, fluffy slippers, had...

I've definitely made them that look like that, and usually they're also greasy

I do remember them being a bit greasy when I use earth balance but this batch just has me stumped! I could understand it if it weren't for the fact that I literally have made this recipe a dozen times with great results.
