"These are my absolute favourite cookies. The only thing I don't like about them is how fast they disappear! I have listed the original recipe but I usually change it up a bit. I like to use whole-wheat flour, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown. I like to add ground flaxseed, nuts and/or sunflower seeds. And I always use craisins (dried, sweetened cranberries) instead of raisins or chocolate. Mmmm... delicious and nutritious."

I am a retired teacher. My late father was an award-winning pastry chef. I learned quite a lot from watching him and from the tips he gave me over the years. How I loved to watch him magically put together a magnificent wedding cake or create something beautiful out of chocolate.
