"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:
These cookies are also known in my family as Whop-It cookies. The recipe came from my mother who when taking these cookies out of the oven she would "Whop" the tray on the stove top to help the cookies crinkle. A young cousin of mine started calling these cookies "Whop-It Cookies" and the name stuck.
