When I first saw these in my cookbook, they did not appeal to me. I am not sure if it was the photo that turned me off, or just the idea. My husband asked me to make them, so I did. That was many years ago and I have made them a ton of times since. They are fabulous.
They are like a raisinette with cookie. The difference is the semisweet chocolate makes them a little richer. So, that gave me the idea, to maybe try them with milk chocolate chips next time. And then also to make a raisinette cookie sometime too. Yum!
These are not at all like a oatmeal raisin cookie. Lighter and almost delicate. They have a slight crunch on the edges and are chewy in the middle. A really great cookie!
