This is a special cookie. I decided to whip up a batch in variation and the winner was with the added ingredient of 1 cup of raisins. As of today, I see daily as I walk into my kitchen a decorated jar with 3 of my winning cookies along with my Red Ribbon attached displayed since the year of 1991. You may use , raisins, chocolate chips, M & M candies or coconut instead of the walnuts if you wish.

These cookies are great! Soft and chewy. I make these all the time and they turn out perfect everytime I make them! I don't think they are dry at all like the others are saying! I've had more then a few people ask me for the recipe. Highly recommended! Read More

I made these cookies with chocolate chips. They taste great with a delicious hint of cinnamon; unfortunately I found them to be very dry. Next time I think I'll add a bit of oil or applesauce to offset this problem because they are tasty. Read More

Despite what she named her cookie the contributor omits the cup of raisins she credits with winning her a second place red ribbon. The raisins might compensate for the fact only 1/3 of the sugar of your standard cookie recipe is called for hence the result tastes like crackers not cookies. Read More

I too wish I had read the reviews. This is a dry tasteless cookie. They need more sugar. They have a nice texture but no taste. Read More
