Raisins in cookies. The reason why they are bad, is that for one thing, they're raisins. Why would you put damn raisins in a cookie when you could just as easily put chocolate chips. It's kind of weird if you ask me. Never understood it. Another thing. Raisins, when you put them in cookies, get baked right? Cookies get baked, and the raisins are in the cookies. Therefore, the raisins also get baked. A little Platonic logic for you there. Baked raisins don't taste good. Try baking a box full of raisins. You wouldn't do it would you? Why then, would you bake a cookie full of raisins? Just doesn't make sense. The baked raisins taste like crap. And they feel like rocks. These two things, are without a doubt the worst things about raisins in cookies. They have this burnt taste to them. Raisins are supposed to be soft and juicy, plump, you know? Grape-prunes are what they are, pretty well. This is getting nauseating. Anyways. So baked raisins taste like crap. They are also as hard as nails. Drill seargents at American military academies are not as hard as cookie raisins. You bite one, and either you crack your teeth, or you get half of the raisin glued to your lower jaw and half of the raisin glued to your upper jaw. You ever read Garfield? That cat has got the right idea. He never touches raisin cookies. And when he does, he spits out the raisins, at a rapid fire pace, pelting Odie right off of the kitchen table. Okay guys, I'm done. A 300 word comment on the evils of raisin cookies. Cheers.
