Vanilla Yogurt Raisin Cookies With Walnuts

I was eating my yogurt covered raisins this morning and realized there was a cookie recipe on the back of the package. These turned out to be very good. They were nice and chewy and the raisins tasted like vanilla raisins with the yogurt on them.   To Read More, Click On The Recipe Title.


Of course I had to pulverize the walnuts so nobody could see them but just taste them and even my Honey liked the cookies! I was toying with the idea of putting some butterscotch morsels in them but didn't , next time I will. They were very good as is but the addition of the butterscotch would take them up a notch!
