GRANDMA M'S SOFT RAISIN SPICE COOKIES
I have craved these for weeks and it took me that long to find them in her collection. Grandma has been gone for two years and I miss her baking so much. I couldn't find the recipe because she called them Delicious Drop Cakes but they are cookies.

5 SPICE OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
This is adapted from the Quaker oats Vanishing Oatmeal cookie recipe. I love oatmeal cookies, but most are too bland for me. My family gobble these up almost as soon as they come out of the oven. I use a small general purpose ice cream scoop to make uniformly sized cookies. Enjoy!

SIX-SPICE OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
These are the most delicious oatmeal raisin cookies EVER!! The spices seem a little bizarre, but they are perfect (I suggest following the recipe closely and leaving all the spices in). I guess they are more of a sophisticated oatmeal cookie, if such a thing is possible. I think I got this recipe from allrecipes.com.

Steps:
- 1. Mix the spices with the flour and sift one time to blend. Cream the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, mix well. Add the flour mixture and mix well. Fold in the oats and raisins blending them in.
- 2. Drop by heaping teaspoons or use smallest scoop, onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes, DO NOT overbake or they will be hard...for nice smooth chewy cookies, 8 minutes is all they cook, remove from oven, cool on sheet for two minutes then remove to cooling rack to finish cooling.
- 3. Note: Raisins may be plumped using water or juice...I use apple juice and brind to just a simmer in a boiler on the stove, remove from heat and let them set while I work on the batter, then squeeze the excess juice away and add to the batter.
RAISIN-NUT SPICE COOKIES
Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Spray 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray.
- Place powdered sugar in small bowl. Mix in enough milk by teaspoonfuls (about 5) to form thick, smooth glaze. Cover glaze; set aside. Combine almonds and walnuts in processor. Using on/off turns, blend until most nuts are reduced to 1/4-inch pieces (some will be very finely ground). Combine flour, butter, 2/3 cup sugar, citrus peels, aniseed, salt, spices, and baking soda in large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat at low speed until fine meal forms. Add egg yolks and beat until clumps form. Add nuts and raisins. Beat until dough holds together, adding milk by teaspoonfuls (about 3) if dough is dry. Knead dough briefly to compact.
- Roll out 1/3 of dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4- to 1/3-inch-thick rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip on diagonal into 11/2- to 2-inch diamonds. Transfer diamonds to baking sheet. Gather dough scraps and reserve. Repeat with remaining dough. Reroll scraps, cutting out more cookies, until all dough is used.
- Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until golden, about 17 minutes. Spoon generous 1/2 teaspoon glaze over each hot cookie and spread with back of spoon to coat. Let cookies stand on baking sheets until completely cool and glaze is set. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Store airtight between sheets of waxed paper at room temperature.)
