These are fantastic! I've never mixed cookie ingredients up in this order before. It seemed wrong not to cream the butter and sugar , add the egg and then add the dry ingredients, but for whatever reason this method, or at least I think it was the method created a cookie that was crispy, but not tough or hard , and slightly chewy on the inside. The hardest part for me was to leave them in the oven until they were brown on top. I used sliced almonds for the nuts and would do so again. We really enjoy these. Thanks for sharing the keeper recipe!

I don't usually write reviews, but I have been making these for years and are a family and friend favorite. They are very easy to make and I typically do not add the nuts and raisons (children request). To keep them non-dairy, I make them with a non-dairy margarine and I roll the entire cookie in Sugar in the Raw. The cookies freeze incredibly well so I can pull them out whenever I need to.

I'm married with 2 young children. Like lots of other folks, after getting married, I finally started learning how to cook when we got tired of take-out food. Watching Foodnetwork taught me lots of skills as well as inspired me to try. I haven't followed the shows much nowadays, but years ago my favorite chefs on FoodNetwork were Giada DeLaurentis, Ina Garten, Bobby Flay, Alton Brown, and Paula Deen. I also watched 30 minute meals with Rachel Ray but never could make my meals in 30 minutes with her recipes! ;0)
My pet peeves are when people refuse to try something different, or after they've had one bad experience with a certain ingredient or food then they will never want to taste anything related or with it.
