I'm pleased to have your great-grandmother's name now and will add this to my copy of your recipe for "Best Chocolate Drop Cookies Ever." There are so many women who have disappeared into or remained nameless in the mists of time. Being a family historian, I always feel moved to try to find the unknown women's names so they are included in the family history. This always carries over to other things, even other people's recipes, as you now know! Thank you again for all you're doing and sharing your work with everyone. <br />All the best,<br />Karen <br /><br />Karen Mohrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694858307699499265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-44857626147162871992024-01-25T08:55:53.266-06:002024-01-25T08:55:53.266-06:00Hi Karen, it was Great-Grandmother Fritz.

I read an article the other day that said it's not the eggs that are the most likely source of illness in raw dough, it's the raw flour.

I always loved its moist chocolate flavor. Years ago a friend raved about a chocolate cookie a bakery here in Sacramento offered. It was a similar cookie minus the raisins. When I ate one, I thought it tasted like that cookie Mom made. Today, I dug out Mom's recipe to bake a batch for my sick friend and, curious to see if the old recipe had resurfaced, I Googled chocolate drop cookie + raisins which led me to your recipe. Perhaps it was a Midwestern favorite. I see you have tweaked it a bit and appreciate the hints as my rather basic recipe just listed ingredients, baking time, & temp.

I think the problem with too many desserts that are overly chocolate-y is they have <i>so</i> much chocolate that you can't really taste it - it just a blunt object assaulting your taste buds. These cookies have plenty of chocolate, but you can really taste it - which is why I think they're the best. Let me know what your verdict is!

I love that there are nuts and raisins in them, and that you describe them as not being too heavy - I must admit that I'm not a fan of overly chocolate-y desserts but these cookie seems balanced enough for my weird tastes! And it's extra special that it is an updated recipe from your great-grandmother.

But based on your description, I am intrigued at how these cookies will measure in the taste (and texture) department. Well, I am a grandma-inspired little girl when it comes to kitchen and baking techniques, so I wouldn't doubt that grandmas can make the best cookies ever! I am excited to try this out!MyFudo™https://www.blogger.com/profile/07914898682196113809noreply@blogger.com
