Bill on 2023-12-26 (5 stars): Thank you for posting this recipe. My siblings and I have many fond memories of helping Grandma make these and other cookies in her kitchen many years ago. These are so easy to make and they are delicious to eat!
Foery, Sheila on 2023-12-16 (5 stars): My favorite cookie growing up! My mother made them I guess her mom got the recipe out of the newspaper. Very similar to yours but has added cloves too, my mom changed it up to do 1/2 raisins 1/2 dates and coconut! She kept them in the porch to keep them cold and that`s the only way I like them slightly frozen, as I would sneak and eat the cookies. My grandma only made them at Christmas my mother said, as they were expensive with all the nuts and fruit. Thanks for sharing their recipe.
