In reply to Vickie. Hi Vickie- I'm not too familiar with high altitude baking- I would google candy-making at a high altitude to see what the recommendations are!

These cookies are wonderful, however, I have questions about the caramel. I made a batch cooking the caramel to 240…..way too hard. I think we could’ve pulled fillings with it but still tasted fabulous. I tried a second batch of caramel cooking to just a bit over 230….better but still seem to be firmer than what you describe. Our elevation is 4300 feet and I seem to have issues with candy making anyway. Would you suggest cooking to just below the 230 mark? Oh, and thank you for the recipe!

I’m definitely a “nay” when it comes to raisins in baked goods. Like you, it’s a texture thing for me. Stuffing these with caramels was genius. They look wonderful.

I am with you, I hate raisins in cookies or any baked good, ew. But I am loving the concept of that raisin water, I need to try these!

I love raisins in oatmeal raisin cookies (and in Raisinets!) but the idea of the “raisin water” is really neat for achieving the flavor while eliminating the texture. The caramels stuffed in these cookies look amazing!

In reply to Mimi @ Culinary Couture. Hey Mimi- in my experience, those Kraft caramels are pretty hard to begin with, and after the cookie cools they go back to their original consistency. The softness of the homemade ones is in your hands. (I like to cook them to 230F to get a really soft texture.) In my experience that works better! :) If you find softer store caramels- that would work too!

The idea of adding raisin water sounds very intriguing. I recently found out I love the taste of raisins, but I have had yet to have it in an oatmeal cookie because I’ve always avoided oatmeal raisin cookies. This sounds really nice :)
