Over in the blogosphere among my postings on The News Tribune's site under the "In The Neighborhood" section, I've been enjoying some lively exchanges with other locals about coffee, why people drink it, why they are willing to pay so much for their espresso and latte concoctions, and then somehow the topic turned to chocolate.
I wrote about the great recipe I tried recently. It was found on the bag of Snoqualmie Falls Lodge Oatmeal. Those are the best oats you'll find. Great for oatmeal and maybe even better for baking.
I want to share the recipe for Peanut Butter and Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies and the one modification I made to it. I had no chocolate chips on hand, so I finely chopped some rich, pure, dark chocolate into the mix in place of chocolate chips and achieved an excellent result. It's an interesting cookie recipe also, because it contains no flour whatsoever, just the oats. No added salt either, just baking soda.
I wanted so much to show the cookies and share the recipe, but was confounded by just how to go about uploading images. Previously, on The News Tribune's blogs it was a snap, but there was a system crash awhile back and I think that perhaps it is no longer possible to upload images there. If it is possible, it was beyond my ability to figure it out. Then it dawned on me that I can post the image here on one of my other blogs and then simply include the link to Emerald Princess Online over on The News Tribune's "In The Neighborhood" blog so anyone who wants it can find it and bake a batch. Mmm-mmm good! Yummy, crun-chewy, satisfying mouth-feel... Munch, munch, munch...
P.S. If the print is a wee bit too small for you to read and write down the ingredients, let me know and I'll reprint the recipe in another posting.
