Mrs. Fields Chewy Raisin Cookies

children from A to Z's Note:

I just made these and they are so yummy! I did only use 1 cup of raisins and added 1/4 cup more of oats. I also used raisinets, instead of plain raisins, Awesome! Try them you won't be disappointed. I am leaving the baking time to the original, but mine baked up perfect in 13 minutes, it might be due to my elevation, I don't know.

Very good with raisins! Stayed soft which I like! Didn't add nuts, they had great texture without them.

Great recipe!! I love soft chewy cookies and boy does this deliver! I think the honey is the secret. I have made them with raisins, chocolate chips- even plain and my family loves them all! Thanks for posting.
