I made the following changes and they came out VERY good. Thick, cakey (in a good way) and delicious! I used 1 cup of chopped prunes instead of raisins. (No one notices when you use them, but prunes are more moist and flavorful in baked goods.) I used only 7 tablespoons of butter in the cookie batter and only 1 cup of packed brown sugar, as they are plenty sweet and moist already. I used 1.5 tablespoons butter in the icing and used 2% milk instead of cream. I omitted the nuts and used 2 cups of diced apples. I dropped the cookies on the baking sheet and chilled them in the freezer for 5 minutes before baking, so I did not have any problem with spreading or flat cookies. I baked them for 13 minutes at 360 degrees and they were perfectly done through without darkened bottoms. I piped the glaze in a spiral shape on the cookies using a ziploc bag with the corner cut off.
Make these cookies! My boyfriend and his friends loved them--they called them "muffin cookies." One of the guys even asked for the recipe!
