I just spent hours making Claire Saffitz’s pecan brittle oatmeal cookies and, meh.

Instead of getting chunks of brittle, it all melted in and became just a decent, somewhat greasy, oatmeal cookie.

The recipe calls for pulverizing half the brittle and later adding more brittle in chunks and I followed that to a T. I did make extra brittle and am putting chunks on top of each cookie when baking to try to salvage the project.

The reviews were great—and I did correct weights, resting time, etc., and, yeah, meh.

Anyone else make this recipe? Suggestions for salvage?

I’m always up for a baking challenge, but this was not worth the time.
