One of the stops was at Milk and Cookies bakery for a Salted Oat Surprise cookie. It may have been the best cookie I have ever eaten.
On the tour they told us that Milk and Cookies has a cookbook, unfortunately their cookbook does not contain the recipe for the Salted Oat Surprise..BUT the internet has helped me come up with something :)
I found this recipe and added toffee bits and a liberal helping of sea salt.
While I am on a no flour/dairy/sugar/alcohol challenge, I made these for the Denver/Baltimore football game today. And I admittedly had a cookie (for quality assurance purposes).
They are the closest I think it is possible to come to the Salted Oat Surprise without being at Milk and Cookies! Success!

1C all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
