Plot twist: they're raisins!

    This type of fraud should be prosecuted as a crime

    Raisins are grapes minus everything that makes grapes awesome. Conversely, craisins are cranberries minus everything that makes cranberries awful.

    But neither of those belong in a cookie. Ever. unless those cookies are for someone you fucking hate. Because as soon as they bite into one, they will fucking hate you.

    I like raisins and craisins in cookies, as long as I have prior knowledge. It’s the deception that hurts.

    I mostly agree, but I will say: Publix makes some really good oatmeal raisin cookies that are soft, and spiced with a bit of cinnamon. I don't eat cookies often, much less oatmeal raisin, but I wouldn't turn down one of those.

    Au contraire! Oatmeal raisin is perhaps my favorite kind of cookie, and I have at least once been disappointed in the opposite direction, spotting cookies I thought were oatmeal raisin only to find they were chocolate chip (which are only really good when freshly baked, and otherwise kinda mid).

    I like it. I am genuinely curious about the naming, as i would have called these chocolate chip with peanut butter. Wondering how much is because i grew up with chocolate chip only and the peanut butter addition was a more recent experience to me, or if it's just regional thinking.

    The recipe is for peanut butter cookies. And I love chocolate, so I add chocolate chips to them. They're completely optional. You can replace the chocolate chips for raisins or whatever else you enjoy!

    I find this recipe makes softer, less dry peanut butter cookies, probably due to the butter, than the easy 3 recipe version found on the back of peanut butter containers.

    I was wanting those peanut butter balls that are covered in chocolate and decided on cookies instead.

    With that said, call them whatever you like!

    Brilliant...... except....... everything tends towards chocolate, and the chocolate tends to dominate in flavour.

    I mean.... I want these. lol. I cannot lie.

    But I worry that they're just more enchocolatification of everything. lol

    These look just like the peanut butter cookies my mom made when I was young.
