Cookies

Cookies.jpgI was thinking about all the different kinds of cookies I have tasted over the years working in the bakery. I went online to try to find out the history of cookies and was very surprised to find that they were originally small amounts of cake batter that was poured on a pan to determine if the oven was set at the right temperature (long before thermostats)

Cookies really became popular with the “invention” of chocolate chip cookies in the 1930’s by Ruth Wakefield from the “Toll House Inn” that she and her husband operated. Since that time the average American eats 300 cookies per year.

The blend of butter, brown sugar, vanilla, chocolate, and walnuts baking creates a unique aroma that is unmatched. At Safeway we still use the same ingredients that have been used for years, and if you happen to be in the store when the cookies are baking, you are in for a real treat.

We have our famous Chocolate Chewie Cookie, Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Snickerdoodle, Oatmeal Cranberry, Sugar, M&M Cookies, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Susans, Butter Cookies, Biscotti, Teddy Bear Cookies, Iced Animal Cookies, Coconut Macaroons, and the list goes on and on. So the next time you are in Safeway, stop by the bakery and see the great assortment, I am sure you will find a variety that will be number one on your list. What’s my favorite? I don’t need to go past the Chocolate Chip cookies, they win out every time.

Whatever happened to the Boule bread?  It was round, with an extraordinary crisp-crunchy crust and a dusting of flour. I was heartbroken when it disappeared.  Another bakery missing-in-action -- the Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake.  Our family celebrations just aren't the same without it! Can you please bring them back?

 

Thanks,

Cathy

Is there any way to get the recipe Safeway uses for their Snickerdoodle cookies? I absolutely love them but the recipes I've tried just aren't quite the same.

Hey I was looking for the recipe for the little round white cookies with the chocolate drop in the middle. I live in Idaho and nowhere near a safeway. My mom loves these cookies and I wanted to surprise her with a batch. If you could give me the recipe I would be so grateful. Thanks!
