Mix in order given. Nuts and raisins can be added. These cookies can be made as drop or rolled cookies. To make drop cookies add flour until you have a stiff dough. For cookies to be cut, cool the dough a few hours. This makes a large batch of cookies. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until done.
