"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
If baked too long, cookies can become crisp. I bake 5 minutes on grate at bottom, move to middle for 5 minutes, I set timer for 5 minutes so they will not bake too long....hate burning cookies. I usually double the batch. These are favorites of all the grandchildren. They can feel the LOVE!!
