I made these for myself, and my husband (who doesn't need to cut calories!) LOVES them. These are now his favorite! The original recipe is similar to one that my Grandma had, and hers was called "Man Cookies" because they were the only ones that filled up the men who had come to help with the 'threshing.' [I left out the raisins, and they turned out GREAT] THANK YOU!
