  1. I made these cookies today for DH and he loved them. I used only the brown sugar and they didn't need the white sugar at all. Lots of raisins and they were perfect at the 12 min mark. A very nice working recipe that delivers the goods.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in Colorado Springs. I enjoy collecting, reading and trying recipes from old cookbooks -- they are always an interesting window into domestic history. I enjoy learning classic cooking techniques and then applying them to home cooking.&nbsp; I am currently working on learning about the five "mother sauces" and the variety of sauces that can be made from them.&nbsp; But I'm also a big fan of plain old mid-western farm cooking, too, which I learned from my grandmother and mother.</p>
