Notes
*recipe update* I now add in 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and I stir the blended raisin mixture in with the wet ingredients. Makes super chewy cookies!*Make sure that the butter is softened and not melted or you'll have a flatter cookie (like mine, although they will still be delish) *Once you add the flour mixture, only stir until the ingredients are combined. If you over-stir, you will have a tough cookie on your hands. We want soft & chewy, not tough. *Cooking times may vary so watch that first batch carefully. Take the cookies out of the oven when they are still slightly undercooked. Allow them to finish cooking on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling. This will ensure that your cookies STAYS moist, soft and chewy!
