Today my mom, Christy, is guest posting with a great recipe she developed last week. Enjoy! (photo courtesy Christy Virgil)
Now that I am working full time, it is harder to find the time for homemade cookies! Recently, I made up a recipe from items I had in my cupboard. They turned out soft like brownies. It is amazing how much more we appreciate the little things when we take the time to enjoy them!
Cocoa Raisin Cookies
3/4 cup butter
6 tbs cocoa powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup raisins
Cream butter, cocoa, and sugar together, then add egg and vanilla. Stir in flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Then stir in raisins. Drop by large spoonful onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375ยบ for 10 minutes. Frost as desired.
