MOM'S SOFT RAISIN COOKIES
With four sons in service during World War II, my mother sent these favorite cookies as a taste from home to "her boys" in different parts of the world. These days, my 11 grandchildren are enjoying them as we did, along with my stories of long ago.- Pearl Cochenour, Williamsport, Ohio

MOM'S RAISIN ROCK COOKIES
This was my mom's favorite cookie recipe. In fact, I don't remember her making any other cookies (besides chocolate chip). I think the "rocks" are the walnuts. I'm totally guessing at the "time to make" and number of cookies it makes because I bake cookies even less frequently than Mom did. Please feel free to correct

Another Christmas staple in our house. This dough is very heavy, so make sure you use a stand mixer or electric mixer to make these cookies.
