an old friend of mine surprised me with this book a while back (thanks again meghann) and i guess it shouldn't be too surprising that the first thing i went hunting for was a cookie recipe::
this book has just about everything in it (just incase you weren't going to take its word for it, the title is pretty accurate). at some point i will implement my initial plan, which was to make one new recipe every week. for now, i will use it for oatmeal raisin cookies::
not too bad. these were pretty light and fluffy though. which is nothing to complain about. however, i have been looking for an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe that will match the thick, dense and chewy richness of the monster ones you get at any bagel shop or deli. the search continues.....
