- If you don't have raisins, you can substitute another dried fruit, such as cranberries, cherries, or apricots.
- To make the cookies chewier, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
