I'm the fourth generation of cooks in my family to bake these cookies. When my grandmother sent me a batch for my birthday one year, I asked her for the recipe - not knowing I already had it in a booklet of handwritten recipes she'd given me. Embarrassed, I looked, and sure enough there it was. That's when I learned it was originally my great-grandmother's recipe...it's one that I will definitely make sure gets passed on!

These were delicious and chewy, but they didn't flatten in the oven so I flattened them myself before baking. So addicting!

When I made these cookies I cut the dough in half and added rasins to one half and peanut butter and milk chocolate chips. Both turned out fantastic and really added flare to an already great recipe!
