- A few weeks ago, I emailed my mother-in-law to get some recipes for things that my husband really enjoyed from his childhood. She emailed me back with the recipes, and included this one as well. She said that my husband really likes these, and that she would make them for him by the dozens to deliver to him while he was attending college. So, a few days later, I decided to surprise my husband with them.
- I have never made cookies where the raisins are soaked in the eggs and vanilla. It was something different than I had ever done before. But after doing a search online, it seems as though it's not as un-common as I thought it was!! So I guess I just learned an old trick!
- These cookies are delicious and soft. The original recipe calls for 2 packages of white chocolate chips - I just used one 12 ounce bag, and it was plenty. In fact, next time, I would probably cut back a little bit. Also, all I had at home was quick cooking oats, which worked, but I like the way old-fashioned oats look and feel in oatmeal cookies. So I will make sure to have old-fashioned oats on hand next time!! This makes a lot of cookies - I got almost 6 dozen cookies. And I love the touch of extra sweetness from rolling them in sugar before you cook them. This recipe is a winner!
