Yes, Hubby HATES raisins – so much so that he wouldn’t
even try one of these cookies! The worst
part about his hate for raisins is it seems he has somehow passed on the genetic
hate of raisins to our children. They
both tried a cookie but they picked out the raisins! Seriously!
Freaking crazy kids!
Oh and when I told them that raisins were merely just tried
grapes – they did not believe me.
Anyway, I like these cookies but they were not a panel
favourite and now that I have had some feedback and looked at the ingredients,
they are more of a muffin than a cookie.
So if you are looking for an excuse to eat cookies for breakfast – here you
go!
Little Boy:
(as he is spitting out a raisin) it’s good, I like them, I don’t like the
raisins. They are very soft.

Hubby: refused
to allow a raisin to pass his lips.
At Work Panel:
Brent: It’s not a cookie. It’s a muffin. It’s a good muffin. It tastes like a chocolate chip muffin
without the chocolate.

Bryce: Good,
unique. I would call it a breakfast
cookie.

Sandee: Too dry, they don’t have a lot of
flavour. The raisins are good, I like
that they are round and thick.

Barb: Not my
favourite. You would probably like them
if you liked scones.

Adam: Like grandma’s
cookies. (He came back for more.)

Sarah: I like
the softness, needs more raisins or something.
Something is missing? A
spice? Cinnamon maybe?
