Servings:

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease cookie sheets or line them with parchment. (My cookies turn out better since I switched to parchment years ago.)
In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
Blend in the flour mixture.
Stir in the rice crispies and raisins.
Drop by teaspoons onto the prepared pans.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes and then transfer them with a spatula to a rack to cool completely. (Or enjoy warm)

These old-fashioned cookies are easy to adapt based on what you have in the pantry.

No Rice Krispies? Substitute slightly crushed Special K cereal for a similar light, crisp texture.
Swap the dried fruit. Replace the raisins with dried cranberries, chopped dried cherries, or golden raisins.
Add nuts. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch and flavor.
Make them chocolatey. Fold in a handful of mini chocolate chips for a fun twist.
Add warm spice. Mix 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon into the dry ingredients or sprinkle the tops with a little cinnamon sugar before baking.
Try a holiday version. Use dried cranberries and chopped pecans for a festive cookie that's perfect for cookie trays and gift tins.
