Jumbo Raisin Cookies image

I got this recipe from an old Southern Living cookbook. I make these regularly, since we all love raisin cookies and this is a good recipe. Cook time is per pan. In answer to a reviewer, yes...You do add the rasins along with the water they were cooked in. As it cools, it thickens.

I made a few healthy swaps to this recipe, using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and honey instead of sugar. The cookies still came out amazing! They were just as soft and chewy as the original recipe, but with a healthier twist.
