| - Named after a goddess yet stuck in a depressed and unsafe area, Minerva Bakery offers some of the most blissfully chewy, full-bodied, and definitively scrumptious cookies ever to be pulled from an oven. My sister brought over several dozen of them for the housewarming party Kay and I threw over the weekend, and they were such a sensation, neighbors were storming our new home like the zombies in the penultimate scene from "Night of the Living Dead" (the son of the director is an old schoolmate of mine from way, way back and was in attendance, no foolin').
Chocolate Chip and Dipped Chocolate Chip dominated the roster, but also on deck were an assortment of sugar cookies with multi-colored sprinkles and thumbprint cookies. The Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookies are half-coated in melted chocolate, much like those made by Bethel Bakery, and were the dark horse performer of the evening's festivities.
Fortunately, our guests didn't completely decimate the cookies, so they've continued to serve as snacks and dessert for the past several days.
Thanks be to my sweet, brave, and embattled sister for coming through with the treats. Unfortunately, she lives in the area. Hopefully, Minerva's light of confectionery goodness can revitalize the community she lives in.
