Chocolate Chip-less Cookies

Is there a bad time to make cookies? I made the cookies by following this recipe. I chose a recipe with oil instead of butter this time. I'm out of butter right now, so it was the perfect chance to try something different. They are titled chocolate chip-less cookies because that's exactly what they are - my husband's favorite type of cookie is chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips, and I aim to please. I also elected to add molasses to the mixture.
Here's a picture of the dough.

I then scooped the dough into cookie sheets and placed them into the oven.

I baked the cookies for 12 minutes to make sure they were fully baked and they came out good. They were perfect to satisfy my sweet tooth. You can definitely taste a difference from the butter cookie recipe, but it's not bad. I would like to try the almond extract next time to see how that tastes, and of course a batch with chocolate chips.
