Girlfriend Cookies

Bear's Anecdote - A friend of mine from Huntsville, Alabama (Tim P. - It isn't good to give full names on the internet.) gave me a great stack of recipes. Here is one of them.

• 1 c. butter
• 2 c. well-packed brown sugar
• 2 well-beaten eggs
• 3-1/2 c. flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/2 c. sour milk
• 1 c. raisins
• 1 c. walnuts
• 1 c. chopped dates

That is where the recipe ended. We have to guess. What fun!!

1. Cream together brown sugar and butter.
2. Add eggs and sour milk.
3. In another bowl, sift together flour, salt, soda, baking powder and spices.
4. Add flour to batter and stir.
5. Add raisins, walnuts and dates.
6. Bake cookies at 355 degrees for 15 minutes.
7. Immediately remove cookies to towel to cool.
