This recipe comes from Jennifer’s sister-in-law’s family. Carole Lindes, whom everyone calls grandma Carole, prepared these cookies for the naming ceremony of her great-granddaughter, Jennifer’s niece. They were served alongside the recipes from Jennifer’s family, showing many generations of family all on one cookie platter.

Ingredients
- 3 cups flour

- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Sift the flour, baking soda and cinnamon into a bowl. Set aside.
Step 3
Whisk the butter and sugar in a large bowl until creamed. Add the eggs one at a time. Stir in the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Add the milk and stir until it forms a smooth batter. Fold in the raisins and walnuts and mix until evenly distributed.
