Very good cookie. I had to adjust my cooking time and temperature 20min at 375F. These cookies were shared and appreciated.

these came out completely flat for me, because i was out of butter and used "smart balance" margerine - not at all baking safe. Nevertheless, they tasted so amazing that I scraped them all off the cookie sheet and ate them like cereal. Will make again soon, (with BUTTER, of course; and with the raisins).

These are nice and soft. I made them a little bigger than in the recipe is it's like having a mini cake. Awesome.
