Every summer my Grandma Pulsipher made these special cookies for the Heap reunion. She only made them once and year and I have to say, I waited all year for them! I remember Grandpa and Grandma drying grapes on large screens to make raisins and Grandma using the hand cranked grinder to prepare the raisins for these cookies. This is definitely not a common cookie, but a very special one to me that always brings back fond memories of home and family.
