mmm..these were great! for the raisins I used a mix of golden sultana's, chopped pecans & mini choc chips. I didn't bother resting the mixture in the fridge and didn't have any problems. Thanks for sharing! Reviewed for Fall 2008 PAC

wonderful!! Soft and chewy even after baking....I modified it by adding more raisins and not letting the batter sit. Lots of great feedback from many!

These were delicious cookies. I really enjoyed the flavor. The directions were clear. I did substitute 1/4 of the butter with shortening to make a thicker cookie. Also, I added a full tsp of cinnamon. Thank you for this recipe.
