The second recipe in this series comes from Jamie. She decided to share Raisin Drop Cookies.
Jamie had this to say about the recipe:
“This was a recipe I found in my gram’s recipe box, which had been passed on to my aunt. While I don’t remember her making these, they sounded like an interesting mix of ingredients. If there’s anything Tasting History has taught me it’s that sometimes the weirder it sounds the tastier it will be!”
The interesting ingredient Jamie saw in this recipe was crushed cornflakes. Not that that mattered to Taste Tester Josh! He loved these cookies and swore you couldn’t taste the cornflakes. With that emphatic thumbs up, I definitely believe him!
