This is an old recipe that my Mom frequently used. It makes a big batch of spicy cookies with raisins, and walnuts. The big batch never lasted long!

These cookies were just okay. They weren't as soft and chewy as I had hoped, and they were a little too sweet for my taste. I probably won't make them again.

I made these cookies for a bake sale, and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them, and I even sold out. I'll definitely be making these again for my next bake sale.

I've tried this recipe twice now, and both times the cookies have come out flat and dry. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably cut back on the sugar next time.

I've made these cookies several times now, and they always turn out perfect. They're so easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and freeze them - it's so convenient.
