- A blender works very well to powder the oats and the chocolate bar.
- The blender chops the oatmeal finer than a food processor.
- The powdered chocolate bar should melt at the touch of your fingers.
- .PP
- I prefer my cookies just barely done, so that they remain chewy.
- If you want to send your taste buds into heaven, butter the cookies
- as they come out of the oven (still hot), and eat them still warm
- with a glass of \fBcold\fR milk.
- .PP
- Note that cocoa is not the same
- thing as a shredded chocolate bar. Note also that oatmeal is not the same
- thing as quick-cooking oats or instant oatmeal. Oatmeal means ``rolled
- oats,'' such as Quaker oats.
- .SH RATING

- easy to moderate.
- .I Time:
