Since I'm the only one in the house that likes raisins, I may need to make a half batch of these - or else share them with my friend Don who likes them as much as I do. (Or let Don's wife make them, since she asked me for this recipe ages ago, and I'm just now posting it.)
many recipes in the world that there is just no excuse for using one twice if it's not something you really enjoy. Now, whether the rest of the family enjoys them or not is another story, but I try to add special notes about who likes what.

Yummy cookies. You could just divide the batter in half and bake up half with and half without....a win win there. ;)
I made these this morning. I didn't try them cuz i don't like raisins and can't eat wheat, But they look good. I thought the batter was way too dry and didn't put in the last cup of flour.... until i added the raisins, then it needed that flour. Easy recipe, i used butter cuz it was what i had. Will let you know how Don likes them.
