Would make this again.
I received this recipe as a Christmas gift. Great presentation! This cookie was an instant family favorite!! Great consistency/texture; perfect when matched with an ice cold glass of milk. My confession: I came searching for the recipe because I couldn't wait to make them again. five stars

I just made these cookies, no jar. My daughter loves them. They are so simple to make, but turned out a little flat. four stars

Would not make this again.
I love chocolate covered raisins, so I thought I would try it. My husband loved them, I hated them.. That's why I gave it a 3... Easy to make, just not sure if chocolate covered raisins should be in a cookie. three stars
