I made these again for old time sake and we still love them.
I made variations too. One with almonds, chocolate chips and cherries and one with almonds and coconut. Your original version is the hands down winner.
I’d give these five stars if I could but I guess the old recipes weren’t posted with the star rating system option.

These cookies are WONDERFUL! I stirred them up this afternoon and then baked them so we could have them warm out of the oven after supper for dessert. My husband said, these might be the best cookies he’s ever had, but he’d probably need side by side taste tests with others to be sure. 🙂
Thank you Anna!!
