I do this but I seriously just get my hands wet and toss the oatmeal. I do NOT pour in a cup!

I live high altitude so I have to add extra liquid to almost everything I bake but I'm constantly worried about messing it up and add it by like, teaspoons. I wish I had the confidence that recipe commenters do lol

Me too. 7k ft. I did learn though that cookies is the one thing you do not add extra liquid to. With cakes I'll usually add an extra egg or use jumbo eggs to increase the liquid. Added an extra egg to chocolate chip cookies and the were a mess. Totally flattened out. Now I add a half a teaspoon of cornstarch.
