Oakland Oatmeal Raisin NOM
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?
