Too Many Chefs

That Barrett guy sounds pretty smart. I suppose he must have been since he married you.

Cranberry oatmeal cookies are the best.

Coupla things. First, this recipe sounds awesome (did someone say Kahlua?). Second, I have yet to purchase a silpat liner. I see one in your photo. What do you all think of them? My sister-in-law, also a food and cooking junkie, does not care for hers, could live without it.

Do I purchase? Or not? To own or not to own, that is the question.....

(THANKS!)

We received our silpat as a wedding gift from Meg (in Paris) a couple years back. It took me a while to get used to it, but I really like it now. Here are a few thoughts:

1. It holds the heat a little longer than a pan. I usually pull the cookies out just a bit earlier than I would with a regular baking sheet.
2. It doesn't crisp the bottom of the cookie the same as a pan does. I think that's a good thing.
3. It makes the cookies easy to slide off the sheet. (I hate making cookies that are next to impossible to remove from the baking sheet).
4. It's super easy to clean!! (You might notice that you almost never read about Barrett cleaning-up, there might be something to that). :)

We actually have two. I use one baking sheet and alternate silpats as part of the staging process. I also use a pair of tongs because once it's been in the oven, the silpat really is quite hot.

I love chocolate and oatmeal together. I also love chocolate and cranberry together. Have you considered combining the two??

(insert your own reference to those Reese's PB cups ads here)

Did someone say "Reese's Peanut Butter Cups"?

Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on. Any recommendations?
