VERY YUMMY COOKIES! This recipe is very quick and easy to put together and makes for really big, crumbly and tasty cookies! I made two changes: Used tahini instead of peanut butter, cause Im allergic to peanuts and reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup, so that the cookies had a nice fruity sweetness from the raisins. They came out fabulous and did not last long around here. :) Thanks so much for sharing this lovely recipe with us, grandma2969! Its one of my new staples for sure.
