Baked for 10 minutes and they came out nice and chewy. I don't care for raisins so I omitted them and I didn't have any nuts on hand so those were omitted as well. But I did have white chocolate chips though, so I added those instead they turned out so good! 10/26/2006 - Ann Delicious even when baked by a novice! 05/12/2006 - Lisa These are comfort cookies. The combination of spices is delicious and the addition of Mace gives them a kick. My family loves them. 02/24/2006 - Bonnie These cookies always work!!!!! Very enjoyable to make and eat!!!!
