What Can I Bring?

Made famous by: Diane Cavaliere of Roswell, who says she got the recipe about 20 years ago from her mother-in-law. "The cookies, when done, are like minicakes, " she said.
Cavaliere has adapted the recipe to include golden raisins. You could also stir in a cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.
Each cookie is like a little spice cake. Served with something hot to drink, they're the perfect snack for an autumn afternoon.
