RAISIN DROP COOKIES

Raisin Drop Cookies image

These cookies are very simple but delicious!! I didn't use cinnamon or nutmeg and although some people may have thought this recipe may be tasteless, I loved it! However, if you love flavor, then you may try the cinnamon and nutmeg although I would recommend this cookie without them as well! This recipe may be to huge so you may cut it in half or I even made 1/4 of it and still got 8 medium sized cookies. Enjoy!
