Hi folks --

I just returned back from a visit to a friend in DC, where we went to Teaism in Dupont... Had their Chocolate Salty Oat Cookie and nearly fell over it was so good... Came home and decided I had to try to recreate this thing... And I think I succeeded! Just wanted to share my recipe...

3/4 cup butter
2 oz bittersweet chocolate (I used Lindt 85%)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1/4 cup dutch cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp Morton Kosher salt
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup unsweetned flaked coconut.
3/4 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate (I used chopped callebaut)

Melt butter and bittersweet chocolate together. Add sugars and combine. When cool enough, add in both eggs and vanilla. Meanwhile, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl -- add to the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Add the rolled oats and coconut and mix, then finally add the chopped chocolate. Chill dough for at least a half hour -- while oven preheats to 375.

Place golf-ball sized hunks of dough on a baking sheet with silpat, and flatten slightly (dough balls should still be quite thick). Sprinkle tops with more kosher salt and coarse sugar (I used Sugar in the Raw). Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes -- they shouldn't be browned too much, so that they don't dry out...

Let me know how you like them and how you think they compare...
