B A Cookies
Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe came from my great-grandparents collection. My great-grandfather was a firefighter and when he retired he took up baking cookies as a way to pass the time. I have no idea what the "B A" stands for (knowing my great grandfather, it stood for big ass), nor do any of my surviving relatives remember ever eating them before. I have made them myself and find them to be quite good. If anyone knows of this recipe under a different name, I'd be grateful for any information...

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate covered raisins
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla (I always use royal vanilla)
