  1. Very nice raisin cookie. I only had a 1/2 cup of walnuts so that's all I used. I would also recommend letting the raisin mixture cool before you add it to the batter. I didn't and it made my batter very runny so I stuck it in the fridge to cool it down. The cookies baked up fine but it took a lot longer since I had to wait for the batter to cool before I could bake the cookies.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
