We got these cookies at Arizmendi Bakery in Oakland, within walking distance from our friend R’s apartment.
Best oatmeal raisin cookies ever.
I’ve always been partial to (shockingly) the Shaw’s store-made oatmeal raisin cookies, but I’ve had to swear off them because they’re made with nasty trans-fatty partially hydrogenated oils. (plus, they’re kinda hit or miss.)
Spendy (we spent $13 on a little under 2 pounds — maybe 12 cookies — to take home with us and for the long flight home), but dericious.
And entirely organimagical. That’s a word, right?
Would that be this place in Emeryville? http://www.arizmendi-bakery.org
