"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:
Marlene must have loved this cookie, she made it a lot.
Whenever she had a batch made she’d give me one when I came in the store.
I remember on one of my last visits to the store, before she passed away, she gave me three in a plastic baggie.
