These cookies are what life is all about, simple indulgences that make you smile. During grains week in culinary class, the smell of these cookies was wafting through lobby when I walked into the classroom. It made me want to bottle up that fresh baked cookie smell so I can steal a whiff whenever I can, it just exudes homey comfort.
The culinary course I’m taking focuses on savory cooking techniques so you can imagine my joy when our 2.5 hour lecture started off with a cookie for each of us. After working all day and traveling 45 minutes to school it was such a blessing to be able to enjoy these right when I sat down. If you’re not into the raisin thing feel free to leave them out or sub in some mini chocolate chips. Enjoy and comment below if you make them!
