Pam (Michigan) says:
I've had this recipe for years, cut out the newspaper, and it's as good today as it was thirty years ago! Sometimes a cookie other than chocolate chip is refreshing.

Marilyn (Kentucky) says:
I grew up with this recipe also, a soft cookie full of flavor and a hit because it is such a change of pace. They are also great for when you find that box of raisins in the back of your cabinet that are a little dried out, because they plump back up when you boil them. I don't think you would be disappointed with this recipe, try it!
