This TWD week has two host: Caroline and Claire of Bake With Us chose Chocolate Oatmeal Drops (got there for the recipe or have a look at page 75 in Dorie Greenspan's book).
This is an excellent choice for this week, as Dorie herself will have been involved into heavy cookie baking this last week... I have been in NYC by chance, when the Cookie Bar did pop up last year. What a great experience! The cookies are great and it is nice watching Dorie and her son talking with baking friends.
So, now what about this week's TWD-recipe?
Generally, I love doing cookies, but I am not all too much into chocolate in the batter. I like chocolate chunks, I like chocolate chips, but I am not thrilled by chocolate cookie dough.
Taking this into account, these cookies are very good. The combo of dark chocolate cookies and oats is a fine one, and gives the cookies a special texture.
They are easy to prepare and don't need a lot of baking experience. But don't misinterprete them as "healthy", just because they have some fiber in it :o]
(P.S.: If you wonder why some of the Drops in the first picture seem to be completely pale - these are Chunky Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Chocolate Chipsters, originally due long time ago in September 2008. I was looking for a way to bake something with the oat-leftovers, and peanutbutter is my all-time-favourite baking ingredient, so the choice was easy!)

AntwortenLöschenHow fun that you went to Cookie Bar last year! I love cookies too. These were oo for me, but your pB ones look good!
AntwortenLöschenThey were easy to make and tasted so good! Yours look fab!!
AntwortenLöschenI too prefer non-chocolate batter but these were tasty. Thanks for baking with us this week.
AntwortenLöschenLove the look of the peanut butter ones, the color hides the oats. That is one thing I didn't like about these cookies, the pale oats in sharp contrast to the dark cookie dough. But they sure tasted great!
