Just wanted to tahnkyou for the cookie recipe you posted under the dessert poll. I made them yesterday and they are great.
Do you have any other cookie/ baking recipoe you would like to share?? Thanks again.

Hi Curley Top- By the way I picture you has a kind of grown up Annie based on your name! Close or no cigar??
I didn't really have any particular cookie in mind. I enjoyed the recipe you posted and recall that you love to bake. Oatmeal cookies would be great or any other you think are good- especially to put in school lunches. We also will be travelling to trackmeets soon with teen age athletes with huge appetites so I would like to bake batches of healthy, energy packed cookies to freeze and carry with us.
Thanks for your quick response!

Kima, What kind of cookies are you looking for? I have lots of oatmeal and biscotti recipes, either lowfat or nofat. I'll be glad to post them!

Hi Curley (may I take the liberty of calling you that!!). Thanks again. Yes those wonderful looking recipes will keep me busy. May I ask what Silver Palate Thick and Rough Oatmeal is. I know of the Silver Palte cookbooks but not a cereal. Is that the same as rolled oats.? Also interesting that that particular recipe calls for coriander- never used that in cookies- should be fun!!

[Curleytop]

Kima, Silver Palate is a brand of oatmeal, which is quite expensive. The flakes are extra large. I bought it once with a coupon just to test it out. I am not going to buy it again. Don't know if you have Whole Foods Markets where you live, but they sell oatmeal in the barrels and you can buy whatever amount you want. It cost only .35cents (USA)per pound. That price is hard to beat. I use it for cooked cereal as well as baking. About, the coriander, you can skip it if you want.

[Curleytop]

Hi Kima, here are a few! I am more like an
ancient Annie, getting grey at last! I see by your "profile" that you too are a runner!

6 Tablespoons Water
4 Tablespoons Golden Cane Sugar (such as Lyle's)
OR
4 Tablespoons Light Corn syrup

"Of Australian origin, these "biscuits" from Sandy Bennett of
Waldport, Oregon, could possibly be the best cookies we've ever made.
The cane syrup imparts a chewy, slightly sticky texture that gives
them a wonderful richness."

NOTES : We found these cookies were much better when made with golden cane syrup such as Lyle's. Cane syrup is thicker and sweeter than corn syrup and can be found in cans next to the jellies and syrups, or in stores specializing in Caribbean and Creole goods. RALPHS MARKET HAS IT!

I have doubled this recipe, it is very good! A keeper!
