A great Christmas cookie
If I could make you all cookies and deliver them to your door with a smile and a “Merry Christmas”, I would. But this will have to be the next best thing I could do for you.
This is a newly developed tradition. Neighbors who barely knew my name knew it well after delivering these delights to their door… In fact, I had one person tell me that they didn’t like raisins but they loved these cookies! Clearly, it’s a unique tasting cookie, sure to be memorable to the recipients.
Enjoy!

freshly chopped pecans
Add flour, salt and baking soda. Blend
Add remaining ingredients and blend until fully incorporated. (You can substitute milk chocolate chips if you’re not a fan of raisins)
Drop by teaspoons full onto greased cookie sheet. (I use parchment paper or silpat instead). About 2 inches apart.
