Chewy Raisin Cookies image

I created this recipe on accident. I was using a recipe a friend had given me for chocolate chip cookies, but having a brother who is lactose intolerant, and having family members who have been told by doctors not to eat chocolate, I changed the recipe just enough to make it my own. It was a real crowd pleaser, too.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover raisins. I also like to add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra flavor.

I've tried many raisin cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are chewy and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness.
