Mrs. Fields Chewy Raisin Cookies
"I just made these and they are so yummy! I did only use 1 cup of raisins and added 1/4 cup more of oats. I also used raisinets, instead of plain raisins, Awesome! Try them you won't be disappointed. I am leaving the baking time to the original, but mine baked up perfect in 13 minutes, it might be due to my elevation, I don't know."

Very good with raisins! Stayed soft which I like! Didn't add nuts, they had great texture without them. -
Great recipe!! I love soft chewy cookies and boy does this deliver! I think the honey is the secret. I have made them with raisins, chocolate chips- even plain and my family loves them all! Thanks for posting.

5 stars for this Debra's Special copycat recipe. I did not use nuts, but added about 6 or 7 ounces of Nestle's dark chocolate chips. Really delicious flavor, and excellent consistency - just the right amount of chewiness.

I am a wife, a mother and grandmother, I love to bake and I love to can (water-bath and pressure). My family and I live on 5 acres, we now have chickens and ducks and who knows what else we'll add in the future. My favorite meal to make and eat is soup.
