RAISIN DROP COOKIES

These cookies are very simple but delicious!! I didn't use cinnamon or nutmeg and although some people may have thought this recipe may be tasteless, I loved it! However, if you love flavor, then you may try the cinnamon and nutmeg although I would recommend this cookie without them as well! This recipe may be to huge so you may cut it in half or I even made 1/4 of it and still got 8 medium sized cookies. Enjoy!

RAISIN DROP COOKIES

My mother has made these cookies for year and they are delicious. I never liked them until my aunt, Benice, made them once when I was at her house. The story goes that I came home talking about some delicious cookies that "Aunt Neecie" had made, so my mom called her to get the recipe. It was HER Raisin Drop Cookies that I always said I didn't like.
