This is an easy, dependable recipe. Every time I make these I get rave reviews. Plus, you can substitute the raisins with butterscotch chips for a nice twist.

This is a classic cookie -- easily mixed all in one bowl and irrestible when they come out of the oven. I added nuts to half of mine, just for a change and that was a nice addition. Particularly liked the cinnamon in them and the slightly crunchy texture.
