I first met Carrie Vitt nearly a year ago through a mutual friend, Helen of Tartelette, who photographed Carrie’s book. Helen told me that I would love Carrie. She wasn’t kidding – Carrie is one of the most genuine, thoughtful people I know…and she has this wicked ability of really seeing you and hearing what you’re saying, even when you’re not saying it. With this woman, there’s no place to hide and I love her for it.

Ingredients:
1 cup [110 gr] rolled oats, ground fine in a food processor or blender
2 cups [260 gr] whole wheat pastry flour, preferably freshly ground
1 1/2 cups [225 gr] whole wheat flour, preferably freshly ground
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup [230 gr] butter, softened
1 cup [185 gr] whole cane sugar or Sucanat
1 cup [120 gr] muscovado sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups [190 gr] semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat over to 350 F [180 C] and adjust rack to middle position. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Stir together oats, whole wheat pastry flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat butter in a large bowl with electric or standing mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add cane and muscovado sugars and beat until combined. Add vanilla and then eggs, one at a time. Scrape sides of bowl. With mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Jen, it was so great to see you last weekend! This is such a lovely post on Carrie and her new book!
I'm wondering why these are called 'organic'?
Organic is such an overused term these days, like 'natural' which I guess these are too, being loaded with sugar and fat.
I love this line:
Carrie savors the taste of good food and is unwilling to sacrifice taste for healthier options.
Go for it!
These cookies look fantastic! I love adding rolled oats to homemade chocolate chip (or chocolate chunk yummm) cookies.
Yet another sweet treat of yours that I'll need to try! These cookies look yummilicious w/ some ice cold milk. 🙂
