    1. Dear Dottie ,
      love coconut and raisins are so good for you When baking them the kids want to do a sample to see if they are right (giggling) . I love coconut and raisins are so healthy for you . I bake my cookies so I know what they are getting and not a lot of added unwanted stuff.
      I make large batches at a time .. that way I can roll them up in freezer paper and slice and bake as needed . I got that idea from the cookie case in the supermarket .
      Thanks for stopping by and you also have a blessed and restful week . Nee :)
