Soft Raisin Cookies Recipe


Soft Raisin Cookies Recipe
My co-worker's mother brings us cookies periodically. She's been baking forever and her recipes are beyond perfect. These are one of my favorites. Very soft and tender cookies with plump raisins and a cinnamon sugar coating. Heaven!

This is really delicious!!


Sound good! Have printed the recipe and will be done during my next bake-out! Thanks!! :P


Great recipe!


Yes, these are great! :p
(Not dissimilar to raisin scones, but probably healthier since there's no jam and cream involved!)


P.S I microwaved my raisins in boiled water for 2 mins instead of in a saucepan on the hob)


Saved and printed. Raisins are my favorite! Will try this one for sure :0)
