These are amazing! I am so glad I found the recipe. The pre-soaking of the raisins makes all the difference. I left out the nuts, since I don't really like them in my cookies, and they were still fantastic.

I don't usually like cookies, I'm more interested in the dough...but these are more than great, they are awesome!!! I have had to make these 4 times since I got the recipe a week ago, and 3 of the 4 times I had to double the batch. I did add some nutmeg (1 tsp.) to the spices and a little less than 1/4 cup milk to the egg mix. Now I have neighborhood kids coming over just to see if I have baked any more of these wonderful little things. What an awesome recipe!!!

Delicious cookies! My daughter and I made these together this afternoon. I found the directions to be very accurate - even down to the number of cookies. I used a small meatball scooper to measure and came up with exactly 72 cookies. They hold their shape well while baking - not much spreading at all. The raisins stayed moist and plump - I liked the unique method of pre-soaking them. On a personal note, I am so happy that Merrie shared this recipe online- I am part of the family mentioned in the description, but since I live very far away, I don't often get a chance to taste her yummy dishes. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
