As much as I love chocolate, and rarely stray from making anything near a dessert that doesn't weigh heavily on chocolate, I have a huge affinity for oatmeal cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, oatmeal cookies with nuts......etc.  The softer and chewier, the better!  So, I have made countless recipes, hoping to find that elusive, "gourmet bakery-like" version. And, my success rate has been a big fat zero, until now.

My new find is full of flavor, soft, chewy, rich and amazing!  When I looked at the ingredients, it seemed like the recipe might just be what I've been seeking.   I couldn't wait for the baked version, and had to eat a bit of the cookie dough. YUM! My thought was if they taste as good baked as they do in dough form, I had a winner!

Well, I wasn't disappointed.  They were amazing!  My kids loved them, and I took a few to an Arts meeting. They loved them!  One fellow member asked if I would bake a batch for another organization's upcoming fall tour, and I did so yesterday.

As I said to my arts group, I think you could start a bakery with recipes like this.  Where did I find it? Hopefully, your newspaper offers a publication each month called Relish. It is such a great addition to the normal food section.  They have wonderful recipes, new food trend information, wine reviews, tips and a lot more foodie news.

Relish is where I discovered Vermont Maple Pecan Cookies.  Yeah, I know, oatmeal isn't even in the name!  But, to me, they are the ultimate oatmeal cookie.  Here is a tip, though, that I've learned from all of my oatmeal cookie baking experimentation.  Use rolled oats, instead of the normal quick cooking oats that are so commonly called for in baking recipes.  I think this makes a tremendous difference in the texture and body of the finished product.

Thanks, Relish, for allowing me to check this one off my list.  I can keep busy experimenting with other additions to this recipe all winter.  Now, on to the beef stew recipe that will end another lengthy search!

I would love to hear your comments if you choose to make this recipe, so please post and let us all know what you think.  If your newspaper doesn't carry Relish, just visit their website at www.relishmag.com.

Hard Anodized Cookware Review

 

The Cookware you choose should be a reflection of how you cook, aspire to cook, and your budget. If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and love to cook, you probably want to invest more into a cookware set. If you are a busy person who occasionally entertains, you may or may not want to invest in a high end cookware set. There is a type of cookware for every lifestyle and cooking interest.

That said, this article will focus on Hard Anodized Aluminum Cookware, with other articles focusing on stainless steel, cast iron, etc. coming in the future.  Keep in mind, if you have an opportunity to borrow a piece of friend's cookware to try, or ask your friends for their opinions about the cookware they use, it will help you greatly in determining which type of cookware suits you.  Also, consider purchasing one piece of cookware to test before you purchase an entire set, if the investment isn't too great.

Hard Anodized Cookware

is one of the best and most popular types of cookware for several reasons. For professional and home chefs, the primary benefit of using this type of cookware is the even heat distribution it offers. You'll find no hot spots on the surface of Hard Anodized Cookware. This is very important in that the food you are cooking  will cook at the same rate regardless where it is positioned in the pan or pot.

A characteristic of Hard Anodized Aluminum is that it has an extremely smooth, virtually non-porous surface.  The great thing about this is that food doesn't stick as easily as it will on other types of cookware with a more porous surface. Another benefit to this is easier clean up.

Hard Anodized Aluminum Cookware is very strong.  In fact, it is harder than stainless steel.  It resists abrasion and offers incredible durability for a long life.  It is not unusual for an owner to have this cookware for 20 or more years, and remain completely satisfied with its performance and durability.

Another benefit of this cookware is that it withstands very high temperatures, so that no transformation in the products occur. Again, Hard Anodized Aluminum is very, very durable. In fact, it's difficult to damage it.

There are even new Hard Anodized Aluminum Cookware sets that are available with a non-stick interior, which means very easy clean up and less fat required to cook food.  So, not only will this cookware offer superior performance and durability, sets with nonstick surfaces makes your cooking experience even more pleasant.

Professionals depend on the reliability of Hard Anodized Aluminum Cookware, and it is a very popular choice with chefs at all skill levels.  So, if you are interested in cooking with the same cookware many pros use, Hard Anodized Aluminum is a great choice.  Add the non-stick feature to this top performer, and you have the best of both worlds.
