I just did a very successful cookie experiment

[jmowreader]

On Thursday I went to the grocery store to FINALLY do my two weeks' shopping. I chose the Winco Foods in Spokane Valley, WA, which has a really large bulk food department. While I'm in there I spotted the chocolate-covered raisins. "I wonder how these would be in cookies?" So, I bought two pounds - on the theory that if the cookies sucked I still like chocolate-covered raisins.

I made a standard Toll House cookie recipe substituting the chocolate-covered raisins for regular chocolate chips. I set my Bertazzoni oven to 375° and "Convection" mode - there's also a Convection Bake mode that is more like a standard oven - then baked the cookies for 10 minutes.

They taste like chocolate chip cookies with a mild raisin flavor. Very interesting. I'm going to take this batch to work and have the rest of the crew give their opinion on them, but I like them.

1. Sounds delicious!

Those would be good in oatmeal cookies too, I’ll bet.

My three sons are all adults but they still like homemade cookies….. I always try to have some here for when they’re all here.

I occasionally put raisins in my brownies.

5. My dog works for Microsoft. (He wants to say something) "Hi..I will be happy to delete your cookies"

9. Rec for WinCo bulk section!

New Washingtonion here, new to WinCo, and am already a fan of their bulk section. Now I will seek out those raisens, which I love. I discovered their dried coconut strips and have been devouring them. If you enjoy Mounds or Almond Joys, this scratches that itch quite well. The shape is the important feature--it is not little flakes. Can't get enough.

But chocolate raisens in cookies? I approve!

10. Chocolate raisins in cookies is brilliant! Thanks!

I should have thought of this myself decades ago.

11. I'm just going to make a suggestion for the next batch:

If you have some crumbs of potato chips, mix those into your chocolate chip cookies. You get this salty-sweet flavor that is over the top.
