Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I raised my family with this cookie. I liked spice w/nuts and they liked chocolate chip. It made enough to cover dinner dessert and lunch boxes the next day for a family of seven.

Note from Aunt Jennifer:
Grandma hates the time it takes to make drop cookies and always used a large spoon so they were pretty big cookies. One time when I had a bad cold, she woke me up and asked if I wanted a cookie hot from the oven. The cookie she brought me was as large as the plate it was served on!
