Grapes - The Aftermath

A raisin is a horrible thing to do to a grape. I stand by that statement. But… Andy – well, he thinks differently. He’s all about raisins and his favorite cookies are his mom’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. These are those cookies. I made them on a Saturday morning while he was sleeping. My favorite part was when Andy came and picked one up, he looked and did a double take… then sniffed one, and quickly ate it. He was thrilled they were raisins! Who knew shriveled up grapes could make someone so happy.
