RAISIN DROP COOKIES



Raisin Drop Cookies image

These cookies are very simple but delicious!! I didn't use cinnamon or nutmeg and although some people may have thought this recipe may be tasteless, I loved it! However, if you love flavor, then you may try the cinnamon and nutmeg although I would recommend this cookie without them as well! This recipe may be to huge so you may cut it in half or I even made 1/4 of it and still got 8 medium sized cookies. Enjoy!

  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • For a crispier cookie, bake the cookies at a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time.
