Quick! Before you make your New Year’s resolutions, run out and buy Terri Horn’s Salty Oats cookies. Horn sprinkles kosher salt liberally on each of the treats, resulting in a perfect balance of sweet and salty. It’s an addictive combination. Having worked as a pastry chef at some impressive restaurants (including the Ritz in Paris, Nora’s in Washington, DC, and Nantucket’s Chanticleer and 21 Federal), Horn now runs her own business out of Cape Cod. Kayak Cookies features Salty Oats and their spin-off, Chocolate Salty Oats. And take a look at the shortlist of ingredients in these cookies: organic oats, whole-wheat flour, raisins . . . nothing you don’t recognize, nothing you can’t pronounce. In short, there’s no reason your New Year’s resolutions should prohibit them. Go ahead and enjoy them throughout 2007.
Available for approximately $14.95 for six cookies at Formaggio Kitchen, 244 Huron Avenue, Cambridge; and at South End Formaggio, 268 Shawmut Avenue, Boston. Order online at formaggiokitchen.com.
