Nice simple quick recipe. I added 1 tablespoon of essence of egg yolk, another teaspoon of ginger, a pinch of clove and nutmeg as well as raisins. I substitued the baking soda for 1 teaspoon of baking powder and made 32 cookies using a 1 tablespoon qty as suggested. I also baked them for 12 minutes in an industrial oven and then turned the gas off leaving them in for an additional 5 minutes. When they cooled they had the consistancy of a light granola cookie not much snap left to them but nice and soft and a perfect spicey taste with the additional teaspoon of ginger... kids loved them.
