No other food product is more closely tied to Vermont than maple syrup. So when I want to give someone a taste of my home state, I bring out a warm batch of these chewy cookies.—Cecile Branon, Fairfield, VT

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg

  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup raisins
