I'm not a big fan of raisins, but I still enjoyed these cookies. They're soft and chewy, and the raisins aren't overpowering.

I've tried many different raisin cookie recipes, but this one is my favorite. The cookies are always soft and chewy, and the raisins are plump and juicy.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I would recommend adding more butter or oil next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
