Renee Galantine said her grandmother always enjoyed making cookies and pies. Her husband's grandmother enjoyed making fruit cakes but she and her husband always enjoyed her recipe for sweet bread. Galantine said she has been on a mission to archive all recipes from her grandmother and great-grandmother and well as her husband's family to preserve them for their families to come.

NOTE: From Recipes With a Story editor - I usually mix dry ingredients together first, but did not want to alter the recipe. Sounds like a great mix for cookies!
