I tried today's recipe and found it very good. The batter is very soft, but don't worry - it will bake up into nice cookies - not too sweet and filled with good things. They're even good for breakfast.
This recipe is from a cookbook called "Jack Warner Cookbook." Warner was the co-host of a morning household hints and recipes show on KFGO radio back in the '70s. Maybe some of you remember.
