One cookie out out of fifteen was weird.

[kentc]

I'm just curious. Baked this recipe for the first time. Tastes great. About three minutes into bake time, I looked through the oven window. One cookie looked different, and remained so to the end. Any idea what the cause was? Odd cookie at top of photo.

Mixing was not 100% uniform.

Thanks for the info! I obviously rushed things. There will be a next time to correct this, because the recipe is a keeper.
