Рецепт Raisin Walnut Cookies
Raisin Walnut CookiesNothing beats these raisin walnut cookies with a cold glass of milk! A pleasant change from the usual chocolate chip.
Here's a cookie that stands out among the sea of chocolate chip or chocolate chunk cookies.
Now, I don't mean to imply that chocolate chip is bad in any way--OMG, they are wonderful. But sometimes you yearn for something, well, a bit different.
These cookies are your "different." They're a pleasant change of pace. I find them the perfect cookie for a cup of tea or coffee or a glass of milk.
They may even be...(gasp) HEALTHY
They're rich and buttery. Please, whatever you do, don't use margarine or worse yet that butter-flavored hydrogenated stuff. Use real butter!!! It's necessary for the taste.
I use unsalted to bake with, but regular salted is just fine if that's what you have--just omit the salt in the recipe.
These may even be (GASP!) healthy, although I definitely wasn't going for that!!! These have quite a bit of oatmeal in them--ground oatmeal, so it's well camouflaged. I think raisins are good for you too (maybe) but they are delicious!
These remind me of the original Mrs. Field's cookies. I'm sure when you taste these, they will remind you of those too.
