Was looking for a way to use up raisin bran. I always follow a new recipe ver batim initially and make changes, if needed, in the future. In this case I'll decrease the whole wheat flour by half and increase the white by same amt. I'll also add vanilla to butter/sugar whip, and apple pie spice and salt to the flours. Bottom line, recipe makes heavy, dense tasteless cookies. They need more raisins too. Imho :-) will make again with said tweaks!

I too can attest to how wonderful these cookies are. I too just found this recipe, yesterday, that I clipped back in 1991. Thanks for posting!

I'm surprised that Kellogg's Raisin Bran Cookies turned out terrific. The crunchy raisin bran cereal and whole wheat flour surely made it for me. Try it you'll like it!
