First boil raisins--do not drain until you have taken out the 5 tablespoons water. Mix
ingredients in order. Put soda in cup and add raisin water, then add to ingredients. Add
drained raisins and walnuts. Drop on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350-375º for about 13
minutes--check after 10 minutes. Makes 3 dozen. These are a great favorite in the Stanley
family.
