No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
No bake cookies, such as these no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies, are on my list of favorite things for lots of reasons.
First, no bake cookies are delicious. (I try to avoid going to the trouble of making something that doesn’t taste delicious. It’s part of my lazy nature.)

Chunky Chocolate Cookies
I love cookies, all kinds of cookies, and have a huge collection of cookie recipes that I’m busily working to publish on my website, Best Ever Cookie Collection.
I’m a fan of delicious easy recipes. It seems that the older I get the less patience I have for time consuming complicated recipes. Making homemade cookies is a lot easier than most other homemade baked treats. Cookies are perfect for sharing too, which is important when you have a small family like I do.

I can’t believe this Chewy Chocolate Cookies recipe with espresso has been in my stack of cookie recipes to try since October, when it appeared in Everyday Food
The recipe popped back into consciousness and onto the top of my cookie recipe stack after reading Joe’s recent post at Culinary in the Country.

The testers at Consumer Reports recently gave “Very Good” ratings to two popular brands of packaged cookies - Health Valley’s Mini Chocolate Chip and Keebler Chips Deluxe Original. According to their experts, to receive high ranks a cookie needs to be “well-blended, flavorful and have a good chip-to-cookie ratio.”

I happened upon a chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe recently as I was perusing the Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook
It had been languishing on my overcrowded cookbook shelf for some time until Anna at Cookie Madness mentioned it in her post where she reviewed their popular chocolate chip cookies.
For those not familiar with the Tates Bake Shop story, its owner, Kathleen King, got her start baking chocolate chip cookies from her family’s farm stand and then went on to open her successful Bake Shop in Southampton in 1980 when she was just 20 years old.
Ina Garten writes in the book’s foreword that Barefoot Contessa, her legendary Gourmet Shop, carried everything Kathleen’s Bake Shop made including her extremely popular thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies.
Now, nearly 30 years later Tate’s Bake Shop is still going strong. I recently sampled her chocolate chip cookies and all I can say is WOW! (But that’s another story for another post…)
The recipe that caught my eye was for chewy chocolate chip cookies with coconut and macadamia nuts that Kathleen refers to as “Chuckies” after the friend for whom she first made them.
As soon as I saw the recipe and read the ingredients I felt confident it would be a winner — a thin, crispy, chewy, chocolate chip cookie recipe filled with chunks of bittersweet chocolate, toasted macadamia nuts and toasted coconut.
Sunday, I made half a batch of these scrumptious chewy chocolate chip cookies. Rod and Mac were instantly smitten, declaring them the best cookies to ever come out of my oven. Of course I have taken that as a challenge and am now on the hunt for the next great cookie recipe. So many cookie recipes, so little time!

I know this may sound like sacrilege, but I think I prefer blonde brownies over chocolate ones. Don’t get me wrong - I love chocolate and would never turn down a delicious fudgy homemade brownie. It’s just that I prefer the butterscotchy goodness of blonde brownies more.
