"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:
The first time I ever heard or tasted these cookies was in a Bed and Breakfast in New Jersey. I have ordered the ammonium carbonate on amazon. I had heard you can also get it from a pharmacy. These cookies practically melt in you mouth. They do not smell very good when they are cooking because of the ammonium carbonate but after they are baked you cannot smell it. They are delicious!
