These cookies are really easy to make, but they don't have a lot of flavor. I think I'll try adding some spices next time.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, but I actually really enjoyed these cookies. The raisins are plump and juicy, and they add a nice sweetness to the cookie.
