Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I tried this cookie recipe from Gourmet last week and they are amazing! I don't have pictures of them up yet, but I will very shortly. When I make cookies, I usually make as much dough as the recipe calls for, and then freeze the dough I don't use immediately for later consumption. I didn't follow the recipe exactly. My version is below.

oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 large eggs
a 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips

In a food processor pulse oats until ground fine. In a large bowl stir together ground oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy and beat in vanilla and peanut butter. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and gradually beat in flour mixture. Add chocolate chips and grated chocolate, folding in until combined.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Form rounded tablespoons of dough into balls and arrange about 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Flatten balls slightly.

Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven for about 10 minutes, or until just pale golden. Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes and transfer to racks to cool completely.

Patali Gur (Date Palm Sugar)

Image
Image from Gilt Taste During my last trip to India, I discovered what the Bengalis call patali gur. It is sugar extracted from the sap of date palm trees. It's darker in color and richer in flavor. Sumit's aunts brought a large chunk of the stuff from Kolkata and made traditional kheer (Indian rice pudding) with it. I'd had kheer in the past and was never a huge fan. People love it, but to me it was usually just warm, sugary rice milk. Nothing too memorable. The kheer made with patali gur, however, was something very different. The gur imparted a caramel-ly, smoky flavor to the kheer. It was intensely rich, incredibly delicious, and definitely memorable. At the time, I was lucky enough to bring some of it back with me. I used it sparingly and made kheer only for special occasions. But eventually, it was used up. I had been searching for it in vain on the internet and in Indian grocery stores ever since, and only recently came across it on Gilt Taste . When I discov...
