While perusing blog land (after saving humanity from erroneous Wikipedia entries!) I stumbled upon an amazing blog called 'Love, Cake." It is a new favorite of mine and I thought you would enjoy it, too.
You can go and drool over it yourself here: Love, Cake
I was instantly smitten with her gorgeous photography, but more so by her upscale, modern take on classic favorites.

I will confess that personally, my favorite cookie is a classic oatmeal raisin. I think most people expect me to say "chocolate chip" because I'm slightly famous for mine (really!) but honestly, I love a well made oatmeal raisin cookie.
Savoring the spices and chewy raisins instantly transport me to a fantasy childhood moment where the only thing I have to worry about is how to get more cookies from my mom. Oatmeal cookies are my number one nostalgia food item.
Baking professionally doesn't leave me with a lot of time or inclination to bake for myself. Unfortunately, oatmeal cookies aren't on my menu and so I don't indulge in them very often.
Imagine my delight when I looked up Love, Cake's version of my beloved favorite. It contained both banana and chocolate chunks and I think I may have died and gone to oatmeal cookie heaven.

I was so moved by her gorgeous blog and fabulous recipe that I did something I normally wouldn't and commented on the post.
If you love oatmeal cookies as much as I do you can find the recipe (and my comment) here: Chocolate Chunk Banana Oatmeal Cookies
If oatmeal cookies aren't really for you, I guarantee you will find something to love on her blog and I encourage you to treat yourself and check it out!
Stay Sweet!
