    Not a bad recipe BUT I rated it a four because of the distinct taste of shortening.

    Easy and delicious. Subbed craisins for the raisins. There are several recipes on this site that are exactly like this one ingredient for ingredient.

    mmmm... Made with 60% cocoa chips instead (so I added 1 T of half n' half to help) and used craisens. Good flavor and proportions. They're rather dense obviously so I might add a bit more half n' half next time or maybe some almond butter.

    I'm into anything that is essentially chocolate covered raisins! I melted the chocolate in the microwave and stirred everything together. So simple so yummy! I was skeptical about using "slivered" almonds so I substituted chopped walnuts. They may be called Cow Pies but the taste is decadent! I don't think I'd call them cookies though. - Read more ...
