Recipe Reviews

23rd June 2012

Zosia from Toronto, ON

Chewy oatmeal cookies with golden, crispy edges, jam-packed with all sorts of delicious add-ins.

The buttery, caramel-flavoured cookie base bursts with chocolate chunks and, because it’s a recipe from those “Baked” boys in Brooklyn, malty, salty pretzels instead of the usual chopped nuts. A little espresso prevents the cookie from being too sweet and enhances the chocolate.

Though the dough comes together quickly, it must be refrigerated for at least 4 hours before baking. I find that dough is often too hard to work with straight out of the fridge and requires additional warm-up time. I really don’t have the patience for that when it comes to cookies so I portioned the dough onto cookie sheets first and then refrigerated them. I was able to just pop the sheets into the oven straight from the fridge.

The recipe made 48 (instead of 36) delicious, good sized - but not monster - cookies.

The cowboy cookies were surprisingly delicious. A few people commented that they were the best cookies they ever had...and I make cookies and try cookies often.
