We made these yesterday but we substituted dried cranberries for the raisins. They have become a hit with the kids on our block. Some of them even said they liked them better this way instead of the normal raisin.

Worked out great as a base. I added 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of cocoa, pecans and Heath toffee bites. Interesting, but yummy. Got a little dry at the end of mixing, so I added a splash of milk. Wasn't sure about the 1/2 lbs. of butter in the directions, so I just used a whole stick of Crisco baking "butter." Just a little crumbly, but moist - may have been the milk I added :0 live and learn :)

Hi Isabel,

Sounds wonderful! It's fun to be creative when making cookies.

The extra stick of butter you left out would have made the batter less crumbly and you wouldn't have needed the extra milk, but the Crisco helps the cookies to retain their shape better and spread less when baking.

Happy Baking!
