I had a lot of positive compliments about these cookies. People ask for more. The difficult part in doing this recipe is finding the golden raisins. I had to go to 4 stores to find them.

These are my favorite christmas cookies I make them with the whiskey, for some of my family and friends, and instead of whiskey I use juice, (o.j.; pineapple; apple; etc.} I also have used the candied fruits,instead if raisens,and cherries. Gotta Love It.

please do not be concerned about the alcohol content. The whiskey adds flavor, but the alcohol from it is baked out and will not withstand the high temperature of your oven.
