These spice cookies loaded with raisins and walnuts really do appeal to all generations - I found the recipe in a 1901 South Dakota cookbook! Sour cream adds a wonderful, unusual flair.

Very easy - and good. I modified the recipe a bit by adding dried cranberries and chopped dates with almonds instead of the raisins and walnuts... YUM!
