The Message Said – Bring Cookies

Teresa's Oatmeal Cookies
Just before I left for my very brief trip to NJ a couple of weeks ago I got a message from my brother-in-law to bring some “finger food” desserts for a family gathering. I don’t know about you but I would prefer larger desserts as they take less time and effort to make. Biting the bullet I decided on some very good brownies, chocolate macaroon jam tarts, some individual fruit tarts and at the last minute some of these cookies.
They are called Teresa’s Oatmeal Cookies, named for a friend and fellow cook, who gave me the recipe. These are without a doubt the best oatmeal cookies you will ever try. Very easy to make and the best part is they travel well; unlike my individual tarts that arrived in NJ looking more like individual tartlets. Make these, stand back and watch them disappear.

Teresa's Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Chef Teresa sends us this wonderful, and I do mean wonderful, cookie recipe. Now I must be upfront with you and say that I really didn’t like oatmeal cookies before I tried one of these. We were doing a demo of our website at a local Learning Center, each of us brought a couple of things for the moms and dads to try. Teresa showed up with several dishes, among them these cookies. As I said, oatmeal cookies were not my favorites, but Teresa prevailed and I tried one, then another; then Teresa had to move them away from me to protect some for the guests.
These cookies are great at getting your kids to eat oatmeal. It is an easy transition from these sweet, chewy cookies, that they will love, to eating a good hot bowl of oatmeal in the morning. Make a batch and see how fast they disappear. The secret, just like the recipe says, is soaking the raisins before putting them in the batter…
