Really really had high hopes for this recipe. I did add choc chips & coconut flakes to make a total of 1c (incl the raisins) to give it a little more flavor. The dough was very dry. Forgot to pat down the first batch until the end of the cooking but they still tasted raw/dry and dull in flavor. 2nd batch is in oven now and I made them into little round patties when I put them on the parchment. They are just extremely dry and flavorless cookies. May literally toss them.

I really don't like to give a bad rating, but these did not taste good. I even used some honey to sweeten them up, I just didn't care for the taste.
