SACKMARINO Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Iced oatmeal raisin 774670[/snapback] iced? with like icing or something? explain
Dwight Drane Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Cucidati It's an Italian cookie with figs. They're like crack at Christmas
VABills Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Lately. Wegmans makes a great oatmeal raisin cookie. From the bakery not the prepacked stuff.
ajzepp Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 iced? with like icing or something? explain 774675[/snapback] Kind of like the icing you find on cinnamon rolls. Not like frosting, which is usually what people at the grocery store think I mean. If you went to cinnabon or some place like that, it's pretty much the same stuff. It takes the oatmeal raisin cookie to a whole new level
ajzepp Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Lately. Wegmans makes a great oatmeal raisin cookie. From the bakery not the prepacked stuff. 774678[/snapback] I miss Wegmans so much.... We have a chain in the south called Publix, which is good, but still falls short of Wegmans by a pretty large margin. Hell, it falls short of the Wegmans of fifteen years ago!

ajzepp Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 ya sounds awesome. ill have to try it some day. 774685[/snapback] If you find a chain that actually carries a product like that, please let me know. Seems like I only find it at grocery stores with bored and creative employees. There was this one store near me that would bake cinnamon raisin bread and then put that icing all over the top of it.....hot damn that was good. My grandmother used to make sugar cookies with this sort of icing, and I remember her saying that the icing was ridiculously easy to make....I just never got around to asking her what to do, but I'm sure I could easily find some recipes online for it. I'm just afraid of what the results would be if left up to me to actually try and make them, lol.

Beerball Posted September 16, 2006 Author Posted September 16, 2006 Cucidati It's an Italian cookie with figs. They're like crack at Christmas 774677[/snapback] That's a good one. Did your family (I'm assuming Italian) make the chocolate cookies as well? They had walnuts & cherries. iced after baking. My Grandmother, aunts & mother used to gather and they made a huge batch every Christmas. yummy
mead107 Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 my wife makes the best oatmeal raisin cookies . i could never eat raisins before she started making them .
ajzepp Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 my wife makes the best oatmeal raisin cookies . i could never eat raisins before she started making them . 774691[/snapback] That makes sense, cause there is like this synergy between the ingredients....I know that sounds stupid ( ) but my brother was the same way. He won't touch raisins, but he loves oatmeal raisin cookies.
Fezmid Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 That's a good one. Did your family (I'm assuming Italian) make the chocolate cookies as well?

My Grandmother, aunts & mother used to gather and they made a huge batch every Christmas. yummy 774690[/snapback] My grandmother makes chocolate cookies (sometimes with walnuts, never with cherries). Yum... She also makes "bowties" which are basically deep fried cookies with powdered sugar on them. Very fragile, but very good. CW
eSJayDee Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Chocolate battered Choc chip. If they didn't make me ill, Vanilla Bean (I think it's a local bakery in Albany) makes a sugar cookie w/ about 1/2" of choc frosting on it. I forget the name of them.

We make them with raisins and Walnuts, and I think the kicker is ground cloves or nutmeg. There is also a simple cookie with sesame seeds called Gigaleni? that we make. Those are the big 3. Another good Italian dessert is Sfinge. It is basically the dough to a creampuff, but is deep fried, then you put powder sugar on it. We make those for St Joseph's day in March. These too are addictive.
