Grandma's Raisin Filled Cookies image

My Grandmother always had these on hand whenever we would come to visit. We always gobbled them up. I never truly appreciated them tho, until I finally was given the recipe and realized the TIME that went into them. I recommend making the filling one day and the cookies the next.. just saves you that much time. I also like to just underbake a hair... I'll probably be strung and hung for sharing her recipe..:)

Time 35m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups raisins, chopped
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg, beaten
3 cups sifted flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Filling:.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients, especially the butter and eggs. This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the recommended temperature and for the recommended time. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
