Food Quiz Pt. 2

Alright, I need to enlist the help of you food-savy bloggers again.  I just took a culinary gamble and it totally paid off.  This time it was a cookie.  I don't recall ever seeing a cookie like this...maybe similar to, but somehow different.  Anyways, this was a tan cookie with a texture that visually resembled the oatmeal cookie but once I chewed it, it bore no resemblence (texturewise) to the oatmeal.  This is what made it strangely delicious though.  It had some kind of brown goo interwoven inside of it.  The goo was sorta stiff but still chewy.  You could see it from the outside too, but it also went beneath the surface somehow.  There may or may not have been chocolate chips in this cookie too...I thought I could taste them but I definitely couldn't see them.  Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.  So, has anyone else seen this cookie before?  Does it have a name?

Ryan, what was the flavor of the goo?

I didn't eat the goo separately and it was kind of hard to differentiate its taste from the rest of the cookie.  If I was blind I would say that I had eaten a chocolate chip cookie with stale gumdrop inards.  ???  Sorry, this is a tough one.

This is driving me crazy, because I think I've had this kind of cookie and if it's the same one it is truly delectable and now I want one, but can't remember where on earth I got it.  Hmm maybe http://cookie.allrecipes.com/ will help, it's got a ton of recipes.

Heh, I usually feel stupid posting stuff like this but now that I stumped everyone I don't feel so bad.  Ehhh...the brown goo was sorta looked like puddles of, well, brown goo.  It wasn't wet or soft to the touch though, although it wasn't stiff (like crispy).  It was much too large to be a girl scout cookie.

Ryan, you have to start asking people what you are eating.  I realize it would be so easy to drug you, just cover it in goo or white splattering.

I know the exact cookie you are speaking of, my friend Pam makes them all the time, but don't know the name!

Does it have the melt-in-your-mouth type of thing going on? 
Cavutto on

That's the thing, I'm usually very picky about foods and I never (rarely) try new things, but sometimes food just looks so benign and possibly tasty that I just want to try it. 

It didn't really melt in my mouth I think.  Like I said, there was also a lot of surrounding cookie matter and it was hard to distinguish the exact characteristics of the goo.  It was definitely kind of solid/chewy.

It is ok if the cookie develops color and the edges look crispy, It should not make them overly hard at all. This cookie will have a very rich crunchy outside, and a very soft/chewy middle.

Let the cookies gain some color, because what you want is an even brownish tone, crispy edges, and even tops, with a gooey, soft/chewy center.

Does this come close? It's a recipe.

This is the most mysterious mystery cookie ever!!!
Cavutto on
The goo was not limited to the center of the cookie.  It was randomly placed all over the surface and sometimes it went subcookian.

I'm stumped, but the brown stuff has me thinking of a bear claw.
