Raisin cookies refer to a type of baked good that contains raisins as one of its main ingredients. These cookies typically have a sweet flavor from the addition of sugar and other sweeteners, along with spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg for added depth of flavor. The texture is usually soft and chewy due to the presence of butter or oil in the recipe. Raisin cookies can be found in various shapes and sizes, from traditional round or rectangular forms to more unique designs like animal shapes or holiday-themed cutouts. They are a popular treat for snacking or as an addition to desserts such as ice cream sundaes or cakes.
