| Great with a glass of cold milk as an after school snack! |
| I've been perfecting these cookies for 30 years. I started when I first learned to cook as a teenager and found that boys really liked to eat cookies! Since then I make them at least once a week. We take them along with birthday presents, meetings, soccer games, school functions, and sleep overs. Friends and family head straight for the cookie jar when they visit the house.
I substitute chocolate chips for the raisins sometimes which is a big hit with the younger crowd.
I have to smile when I see my daughters whip up a batch for some lucky boy whose caught their eye!
