View from Coill an R\u00f3is Bedroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This recipephany comes from the affable proprietor of the Coill an R\u00f3is<\/a> (Forest of the Roses),\u00a0a model bed and breakfast in Ballyganeen, Feohanagh, Dingle, County Kerry. After\u00a0a two-day walk along the Dingle Coast, we reached this cosy guest house nestled amidst sheep-dotted farmland with gentle mountains on the horizon. Jimmy Bruic, who built the B&B about 20 years ago on his family\u2019s briar-covered farmland, greeted us like a long-lost cousin and regaled us with a proper afternoon tea and baked Irish treats. Formerly the pastry chef at Harbour Lights in Manhattan, Jimmy spent many an off-season working at trendy New York restaurants. So I hit the jackpot when, after my enquiring about his chocolate mini-muffins, he responded instantly with an A4 sheet of recipes which included this very clever cookie.<\/p>\n

Smart cookie
\n<\/strong>Why so clever? It\u2019s quick and simple. Splendidly oaty with oil instead of shortening, it boasts just-right sweetness, slight chewiness, and lots of Irish charm. Make it with or without nuts. It\u2019s wholesome, of course, but with a wink, since chocolate chips add that confectionary indulgence yet to be found in nature.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m surprised my new cousin Jimmy defines this as a banana cookie, since that is a background flavour. Maybe it\u2019s because the banana makes it all possible by replacing the egg. I prefer to call this my favourite oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, with no need to qualify it with \u201cvegan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sl\u00e1n, and stay tuned for more Irish recipephanies.<\/p>\n
