"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
I'm sure everyone has a story about these cookies. I've eaten many versions of oatmeal raisin cookies in my life, but these are the best.

As many cookies as this recipe makes, if the uncles are around you’ll likely need two batches. They have a tendency to disappear in a hurry.
