Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
Halloween weekend in Brooklyn.
...
We couldn't resist a trip to Eataly. When in Rome.
Before we could leave, though, we had to feed the beast crisp twenties. Did we really spend so much on so little?
...
12 loaves of bread.
...
"Did everything fit?" Roberto asked.
"Barely." I said.
Six loaves, quartered, bagged and frozen. Six loaves to give away.
...
Oh, and I can't forget the two pizza's.
...
"When are we eating?" I asked.
"My mother said to come over at 4:30." Roberto said.
"I don't know if I can wait an hour. I'm starving. Maybe we should eat a slice of pizza." I said.

Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
...
"There still good." I said.
"Should we eat one?" Roberto asked.
"Maybe we should wait until later." I said.
"Yeah, let's wait until after we eat." Roberto said.
I used this recipe, but left out the chocolate chunks and almonds. The coconut shines. A PERFECT cookie. Just remember to keep the dough chilled, otherwise your cookies will spread.
...
Worry.
...
"Do you know what she's making?" I asked.
"She didn't say." Roberto said.
"I'm worried that there won't be any pasta." I said.
"There will be pasta." Roberto said.
"Are you sure? Last time we came home from a trip she didn't make pasta." I said.
"There will be pasta." Roberto said.
...
There was pasta.
Those will need to be made here soon. Very, very soon.
ReplyDeleteThey look very good and I am very glad that there was pasta.
ReplyDeleteYou're hilarious: There will be pasta.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I love oatmeal cookies and Bill loves coconut. but did I miss the link to the recipe?
ReplyDeleteto pasta, always
Isn't Eataly wonderful? It's hard to believe that such a large space could be sustained for long. But it is really jumping; and if anyone could make it a success, it is Mario and the Bastianich family. BTW, the cookies look great!
ReplyDeleteYum! I would eat about 5 in a row!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading about Eataly- sounds better than Rome itself! More convenient, and probably more civilized without people trying to run me and Roman over!!!!!! (vent!)
What a relief there was pasta! What did you eat last time then? These cookies are making me hungry and it's lucky there aren't any in the flat because I'd scoff the lot.
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look perfect...the crispness at the edges jumps through your photos. And next time you visit Eataly, pack me in your suitcase, please!
ReplyDeleteI love those crispy brown edges, Tracy. They make me smile and feel homey and cozy. :-)
ReplyDeleteI also just returned from Halloween weekend in Brooklyn. Sadly, I didn't make it to Eatily. My stamina is not so good these days.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies, however, look lovely!
Your cookies look awesome! And your comment on Eatily made me giggle. Yeah, so much money on so little, but fun anyway!
ReplyDeletenancy - The link is in the text "I used this recipe..." Hope that helps :)
ReplyDeleteMichele - I actually thought Eataly would be much bigger...
Vanessa - You know...I'm having a hard time remembering what we ate last time. I'm sure there were beans, though.
redmenace - It was crowded, like bumper cars for your belly. If it helps, you didn't miss much :)
I've just printed the recipe :)
ReplyDeletecan't wait to try this coconut goodness :)
