Now these elephant ears are not to be confused with the huge piece of fried dough that can be purchased at any carnival or fair. These are light and flaky cookies. They demand to be eaten in the mid-afternoon with a cup of tea or coffee.

Palmiers...aka Elephant Ear Cookies |
It was in 1988 when my mother would frequent a bakery in downtown Winchester, Va. Even though I was only 5, I still remember going into the store and seeing all the delicious pastries and other goodies in the display case. She would always get me an elephant ear. Mostly I think this was to keep me quiet while she did some shopping while my father was getting his hair cut.
