Foodview: Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

What has become rather popular here in the square of Historic Canal is Harvest Moon's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Snapping pictures of them coming fresh out of the oven usually leads to them being gone in a matter of a few hours. There have even been instances where I thought to myself, "Eh, I'll grab one a little later," and then they're gone... with only a wake of crumbs remaining on the tier! Darn.

But have no pity, I've also been able to eat many a cookies here, and let me tell you that your grandmother has some serious competition going against her! Especially when they're fresh out of the oven would I recommend these *puppies! It's kind of unpredictable as to when fresh ones come out, ergo the reason why we try to announce it ahead of time on our facebook page, but I would say the best time to get one would be an early afternoon (lunch break?).

The best part of the cookie, other than the fact that it's big (not the biggest cookie, but big none-the-less) is that it tastes, looks, and feels whole-grain. I know it's a little silly to be health-conscious while eating a cookie, but if you want to make a wise choice when it comes to dessert, go for this one. Take a look at link 1, 2, and 3 for more info on the health benefits of oats.

And in case you're wondering, they are not prepackaged frozen discs of corn-syrup that they just pop into the oven. They make these cookies with their own awesome, miracle-working, Harvest Moon hands!
