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.
