Did you see this over on All Over Albany? Geesh – leave town for a week and miss all kinds of exciting stuff! You get excited about cookies, right? There’s a contest to come up with the perfect cookie to celebrate All Good Bakers‘ impending arrival in the DelSo. I’ve been thinking about what would be the perfect representation of our neighborhood in a cookie form, and I’ve got some ideas…
Although the Wine n Diner didn’t survive, something Mikey, the owner, said stuck with me. I agree with his (co-opted) statement that Delaware Avenue is where Lark Street goes to grow up and believe the DelSo cookie needs to have some adult qualities…dark chocolate chunks, Really dark chocolate with a bitter note. I’d say. There’s also the fact that Delaware Avenue was known as an Italian enclave so maybe toss in some toasted pignoli nuts to show proper respect to the family. And then we’d need something to sweeten them up a bit – maybe some dark brown sugar? Lastly – a little spiciness is present in our ‘hood and I think a little ginger would add just the right touch.
What do you think? Get to Facebook and share your thoughts asap. Contest is open until Monday only!!
