How about Uncle T's Hobnails?
So here are the ingredients... I bet you have most of them in your pantry right now!
So I added it all to the mixing bowl...
And voilà- dough!
I used a small dough baller , which I then flattened a bit on the greased cookie sheet.
And about 8 minutes later, I had a pan full of yummy cookies!
While I waited for them to cool, I took some pictures of my newest set of luncheon plates. SFS and I were in a second hand store over the weekend, and I snagged this set for a steal... aren't they weird/cool?
And don't the sets look perfect when they're full of cookies and tea?
And let me tell you- these cookies are delish!
Chewy... full of spice with the sweet tang of raisins...
They are absolutely divine!
Thank you Uncle T for sharing the recipe on my apron- I really appreciate it! (Now, Uncle T... I remember your hobnails being a lot thicker- is my memory playing tricks on me? I tried halving the recipe, and I might have goofed on the math... oops! But they still tasted wonderful!)
HobnailsThanks for stopping by- I hope you have a great day!
