Ordering it was an afterthought and we got just one to share. Because I have this kind of luck, the kid behind the counter misheard my order and handed me a cup of oatmeal. I've worked in food service so I hate to complain or return items but C'MON! When you want a cookie, a bowl of mush just won't do!
That cookie was so good that even Todd, who doesn't have much of a sweet tooth and can take or leave cookies, loved it. It was so good I would have gone back for another one but didn't want to have to go through that, "I ordered a sweet treat not a warm cup of gruel" situation again.
That cookie was so good I came home and did a web search for the recipe. I found it! Six minutes later I was on my way to the store to buy raisins and a short while after that we were enjoying delicious cookies!
I found the recipe I used at eHow. Here it is!
