Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

When I went to go make these cookies, I read the reviews and decided to only use half of the eggs and milk so that the batter would be acceptable. It did not work. I kept adding cornmeal and flour until I was satisfied. These cookies are good, once the ratios are right. 1-1 1/2 cups of corn meal 1 1/2-1 3/4 cups of flour 1 cup of sugar 1 egg Just over 1/2 cup of milk 2 tbsp of butter 1/2-1 tsp of nutmeg or ground sugar a splash of salt a splash of baking soda and/or powder and bake for the same as a regular batch of cookies (with stoneware for example it is roughly 12 min) No the cookies will not brown, and no the consistency is not like chocolate chip cookie dough, but they are really good. When made like this they have just enough sweetness and moisture to satisfy even those who don't like cornbread.

the first reviewer was the right, it turns out like pancake batter and the cookies never turned "golden brown" we made this for a class project and a lot of the reviews came out as "tasted like bread?!" although, the nutmeg was goood.

Something is definitely wrong with this recipe. Make it at your own risk. I prepared it for an international "potluck" --- thankfully I made it ahead of time because I need to come up with a "plan b". The addition of a cup of milk makes this about the consistency of pancake batter. The ingredient proportions are just all wrong.
