I have been making these cookies for the last several years, and they are a big hit in our family. I’ve made note of my personal variations, but you can make them according to the original recipe, if you like. I make half of the recipe with raisins, and half with chocolate morsels, for those like my daughter-in-law, Amy, who aren’t raisin fans. The cinnamon-sugar coating is awesome! – JM Farro
