just throwing this out there, as I commonly have the choc-oatmeal cookie cravings- I have made this recipe so many times and it is so delicious and the texture is great, because it uses a bit of rice flour: http://dcist.com/2005/07/27/baking_in_teais.php

i make them like normal cookies, even though the instructions instruct slightly otherwise, and I switch out raisins for choc chips. dont forget the sprinkle of salt- it makes the cookie.

Cate, would be happy to send you some Organic Valley Pasture butter for your culinary adventures and also our new pourable/blendable yogurt. The plain and vanilla are especially good for blending and cooking with. Certified organic, probiotic, and sweetened with only pure agave nectar. Would love to hear what you think. Let me know and we’ll gladly send along some product. Macaroons: to die for, no thank you very much! Can’t think of anything else today! Yum!

Glad you liked it!
I just realized I hadn’t linked to the Organic Valley site in the post, so I fixed that. Seriously, that cultured butter is the best.

Thanks for stopping by!

Loved the butter reference–I am totally partial but agree that high quality butter, especially the organic pasture and European varieties–make or break it. I’d seriously take butter over chocolate any day.

I’m glad we both neglected our long-standing Modern Lovers cake-bake-off. I had no idea you were such a baked good wizardess!

Those scones you used to make for the Tanklets stand out in my memory as the finest baked goods to pass through that kitchen (& my digestive tract).

You are pretty and your blog is too. Is that sortof the point? I hope so.

as you remember, sociologist will scarf anything up that is left by the mailboxes–just no nuts! And again– you will do superbly on the LSAT.

Thanks, Daphne!! I figured I couldn’t really compete with Amy for the crazy, but maybe I’ll try to replicate some of the wacky stuff she does with presentation.
I miss you all, too, and PERHAPS I might consider sending a care package in the form of baked goods your way. Favorite type of cookie?

This is SO FAB!!!!!! But much more constrained than our friend Amy Sedaris’. You know, the Sociology Dept. REALLY MISSES your baked goods (and you, of course).
