Personal Notes:
This is a family staple on the holidays. Cookies are tender and chewy so don't bake too long. I tend to make these a good size rather than small, so they cook the way I want them. Of course, you can substitute raisins and milk chocolate any time of year. Or get fancy and go with dried cherries and dark chocolate. My favorite!
