"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:
These will get puffy while cooking, then flatten while cooling on the cookie sheet - don't rush them.
I copied what the card says, but I must admit:
a. I don't remember who Carrie Blankenship is;
b. I never really got why some recipes say "don't overbake..." shouldn't that be a rule for all baked recipes? and c. I don't think we've ever actually made these, so the preachy part about not rushing them was extemporaneous - sorry.
