you guys! I just realized I did that whole post about Teaism and DID NOT talk about the salty oat cookies. THE SHAME I FEEL.
Oh my god, Teaism maybe, probably, I don’t really know but why not just say they did, invented the salty oat cookie. If you have never had one, stop eating any other of kind of cookie immediately and make or buy some. Salt plus cookie is food love.
Teaism’s salty oat cookies come in oatmeal raisin and chocolate chocolate. Of course, I prefer the chocolate one, it’s a chocolate cookie with oats and chocolate chips, with sea salt sprinkled on the top. The oatmeal raisin is pretty delicious, I don’t even like oatmeal raisin cookies, but I like these. Shoot, I’m getting really hungry now. Anyways, the salty oat cookies are really big, thick crunchy ones and a delight with your tea! They’re more like a shortbread texture which I think works well with the tea.
As a side note, I love these cookies so much I make a variation of them of at home. I adapt a recipe adapted by Smitten Kitchen from Cook’s Illustrated for “crisp salted oatmeal white chocolate cookies”. You can find the recipe at Smitten Kitchen (she is a fantastic, awe-inspiring food blogger known for gorgeous photos) here. I prefer to use chocolate chips instead of white chocolate and bake them a little bit less so they’re a bit more chewy. These are in frequent demand among myself, friends, coworkers you name it.
Phew. ok, glad I covered that. I would have been deeply embarrassed to neglect these cookies.
Coming down the pike soon, I blog about my DC Cupcake Tour and last night’s dinner at the BEST Ethiopian restaurant in the tri-state area.
Ooooh, can’t wait to read about the winner of the Ethiopian Restaurant Olympics Gold Medal!!
