Oatmeal is Headline News

Wildflour’s Oatmeal Cookies make the news at Willamette Week. Wildflour Cookie Company (5400 NE 30th Ave. #103, 502-8738) A newcomer to the game, this sly contender is made even more extraordinary than it already is due to its elusiveness. Wildflour, together with Truffle Handcrafted Chocolates, recently began retail hours on Fridays and Saturdays, but is otherwise available by special order only at portlandtruffle.com. The modest-sized cookie is cakey, but this somehow does not sacrifice moistness and flavor. Quite the contrary: A thin, crisp coating gives way to a soft center that fills your mouth with buttery sweetness. Even the raisins seem better than average. No nuts.
