First, I used the microwave to boil 3\/4 cup of of the of water with the 1 cup of raisins for 45 seconds and then did two 15 second bursts to get the liquid to 1\/2 cup amount. Then I let it cool completely before adding it to the cookie dough. I also used some of the remaining 1\/4 of a cup of water to thin out the dough to a more spreadable mixture as it seemed a bit thick. I added 1 tsp cinnamon; increased the salt to 1\/4 tsp and also used salted butter. I used Standing sugar crystals on the top of the cookies for a nice crunch. One other thing I did was I took a glass and wet the bottom then smashed each lump of dough, like you do when you bake peanut butter cookies, so they were spread out prior to baking. They came out perfect and even looked like the picture.
