Grandma's Coffee Cookies (recipe) w/ white border

This the same as the Original Grandma’s Coffee Cookies (recipe) but with a white border.
The white border was added so the writing down the left side would not be cut off when made into a card. The Original (without the border) is still for sale, but not as a card.

Grandma’s Coffee Cookies

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup cold leftover coffee
1 egg
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
¾ tsp. nutmeg
1 cup raisins, blanched (pour boiling water over raisins and let sit for 5 minutes, then drain)
1 cup walnuts

Mix brown sugar and butter together; blend in cold coffee. Beat in egg. Mix dry ingredients together and add to butter mixture. Stir in raisins and walnuts. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees F for 12-14 minutes

A beautiful, soft drop cookie.
Freeze well.
