British Flapjacks. “We’ll always have London…” I quipped to AJ as we boarded the Tube for the last time to go to Heathrow and head back to San Francisco.

British Flapjacks

About ten years ago, on a whim, AJ and I decided to go visit Great Britain because I had found us insanely cheap tickets (it was ridiculous, I think we spent maybe $300 each on the roundtrip tickets). So when I came across a recipe for British Flapjacks that the marvelous Molly Wizenberg wrote about in Bon Appetit a few years ago, it sound like a perfect easy-to-make recipe to remind us of our trip from years ago. Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies with Toffee & Coffee {and behind the scenes with Land O’Lakes & The Pioneer Woman} I thought it was high time I shared these Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies with Toffee and Coffee with you.

I’ve made them several times since last summer, when my aunt June passed them around the campground on Father’s Day weekend. My family stayed with my parents in their camper that weekend, claiming every last little bit of space available. Camping was such a regular part of my summers growing up, so it’s great fun for me to share that experience with our own girls, in the same South Dakota State Parks. My parents have made it a tradition to invite our family to camp with them at least once a summer, along with a handful of other campers inhabited with friends and family from home, and I’m so grateful for the memories these weekends of fresh air create.

June makes these cookies with chopped pecans and toffee bits. These cookies make me happy with all the fun goodies going on inside. And speaking of butter… Becky runs the show in the Land O’Lakes test kitchen, as its director. Source. Flourless Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies. Food Network Challenge!

Flourless Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies

Last weekend, a group of us met up for an informal soccer game at my friend Matt’s house. Afterwards, as everyone sat around with a beer, one of my friends jokingly asked, “Where’s dessert, Katie? You always bring dessert.” It’s true. I’m constantly pawning off food on friends, because I like to get as many opinions as possible before deciding if a recipe is worthy of sharing on my website. When I saw raisins, my first thought was: No-Bake Chocolate PB Cookies. But Matt’s cabinets were not only lacking in the peanut butter department, they also hosted absolutely no chocolate!

Quick One-Bowl Recipe: Apple Gouda Oatmeal Cookies Recipes from The Kitchn

We cut out the old-school margarine and substituted healthier olive oil (which also adds a savory round note to these cookies). We added more apple, and less sugar. The result is a cookie that looks like a jumble of fruit and oats, barely held together in the batter (but they are quite sturdy, we assure you). The cheese melts into a crisp, lacy fritter around the edges, holding them together into one sweet and savory snack.

There is no sugar in this recipe, however, if you prefer sugar to honey, then simply alter the recipe....cut the baking soda to 1/4 teaspoon and add an extra tablespoon of water. Your baking temperature should go to 350 if you are using sugar. When replacing sugar with honey, you have to increase the baking soda to increase the acid and reduce the liquid by 1 tablespoon.
