CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES COME TO ITALY!

I wrote about seeing these slice and bake cookies a few weeks back, and last week I bought a package at the IperCoop. Our regualr size Coop in Marsciano doesn't carry them, which is probably for the best. In the states, the invention of slice and bake cookie dough made being bad so easy...I mean, does anyone really ever bake the dough? I didn't think so.


In keeping with the idea of cookie dough as snack food, of course I had to try the cookie dough. (Good thing I've started walking every day, although I can't expect to see much progress when I'm eating cooke dough!) So, my opinion? Pretty damn good! Even better news is that the package is smaller than the cookie dough in the states, so if you DO decide to make a meal out of the dough, and find that it's all gone before you know it, this package will offer portion control of sorts. It's designed to make 24 (small) cookies, so you can eat half the dough and still have a dozen cookies to bake!

Now the real test....how will they taste baked??? Well, according to both Art and me....they're really pretty close to American style chocolate chip cookies!! I was careful not to overbake them so they'd still be soft and gooey, just the way we like them and really.....if you need a chocolate chip cookie fix, these just might do the trick!
