I will definitely make a batch of these yummy-sounding cookies, but since I’m not a raisins fan, I will be substituting chopped walnuts for them. Thanks. I always love to try new recipes. I, too, am reading your Rocking Chair Prophet book and enjoying it so much, like I do every book I’ve ever purchased from Dynamic Catholic! God bless your holy-days!

I made a batch of the raisin cookies and they are delicious!
My grandma used to bake oatmeal raisin cookies for us kids and they were delicious, these bring back many good memories of those days and my grandma.
I gave a plate of the cookies to my granddaughter who attends the local college to share with her buddies, hopefully they are remembered by her in the years to come!
Thank you,
Kevin

In the process of reading The Rocking Chair Prophet, loaned to me by a friend. Looking forward to making the cookies, one of my favorites.
