Can’t stop making these cookies – it’s our third night doing it!

Raisin cookies have always held a special place in my heart, reminding me of the cozy afternoons spent in my grandmother’s kitchen. These delightful treats are a staple in Midwestern homes, where the warmth of the oven and the sweet aroma of baking cookies bring families together. With their chewy, crumbly, and soft texture, raisin cookies are perfect for those who cherish the simple pleasures of life. Whether you’re looking to recreate a cherished family memory or simply want to enjoy a comforting snack, these cookies are sure to bring a smile to your face.

These raisin cookies are delightful on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of tea. For a truly nostalgic experience, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. They also make a lovely addition to a dessert platter, accompanied by fresh fruit and a selection of cheeses.
