Introduction

This can be made with lots of varitions such as adding cocoa powder for a chocolate craving or using chocolate chips instead of raisins. Although that would change the fat & sugar levels slightly! I tweaked this to suit my ADHD son. So it's a lower fat, less sugar version of the typical Irish Soda Cookie!

    Very Good
    Kate is my neighbor and I usually try all her recipes. My kids are usually the first to try it, then she sends some over to the house. - 6/11/08
