Author Notes
Found this recipe many years ago and it has become a family tradition. We have always made Irish Soda Bread for St. Patric's Day but now can make cookies that taste the same as the Soda Bread and is easier to share among a large croud. I recently brought them to work and everyone couldn't stop talking about them. —mjg1313
