The Powers of the Pinwheel Cookie
Posted on May 12th, 2010 by Ciaran Blumenfeld
It’s been well over a decade since my grandmother passed away, my Nani. I have so many fond memories, and so many that are tied to food. My grandmother was a great baker, and famous for her chocolate cake and pies. But it’s the pinwheel cookies that made the biggest impression on my cousins and on me.
As kids we all campaigned for favor – we all wanted to be the one who got to help, who got to lick the bowl and who got to eat the first cookie. But we couldn’t just leave it at that. A cookie is not just a cookie, at least not in my family.
