Yeah, I'm going to try Damsels cookie recipe with a little sour cream
instead. (the one posted by Mr Libido). I know its still a liquid of sorts
but is much thicker. It also has oil instead of butter, so I'm hoping to get
the cookies of my dreams!

ooops, don't know if I added too much sour cream, but they're light and
fluffy again! Taste nice but haven't got the texture I'm after.
Once I've polished these off I'm going to try again, I think I'll search out
a recipe with no milk, I want the mixture 'shorter' and sort of lumpier if
that makes any sense!?
Well must go I've got cookies to eat!
