Rating: 5 stars

I found this recipe for a chewy raisin cookie in one of the many Amish cookbooks I own. I haven't seen it duplicated anywhere else.

The only changes I made were: I had to use 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar because I didn't have enough brown sugar. Plus, I added 3/8 tsp. of cinnamon. My husband absolutely loved these cookies. He said they were the best cookies he has ever had. He was a big fan of oatmeal-raisin cookies, but has now asked me to only make the Amish Raisin ones instead. Thank you very much for the recipe. Read More

Not an extremely sweet cookie, which I didn't mind... I made it with one cup of brown sugar and one cup of splenda, and it still tasted quite good. Pretty hard to mess up, pretty good cookie when there is no oatmeal around :) Read More

Moist, sweet, raisin-y goodness. The cookie part tastes like chocolate chip cookie, but the raisins lend their own chewy texture and sweetness. I love that these are made with pantry items and the recipe is simple. In a lightly covered container, these beauties stayed moist for several days. My sweetie couldn't keep his hands out of the cookie jar. Thanks, Marcia. These cookies will be enjoyed and shared many times. A keeper recipe!! Read More
