In England, these crisp raisin-flecked treats are called Madeira biscuits-biscuit being the British word for cookie, and a glass of Madeira being a favorite accompaniment for this particular type.

Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Using electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and salt in large bowl until creamy. Mix in vanilla. Add flour and raisins; mix until smooth dough forms. Divide dough in half. Shape each dough half into 1 1/2-inch-diameter log. Wrap each log in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 2 large baking sheets. Cut each dough log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices on prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Bake until cookies are golden, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheets. Transfer to racks; cool completely. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)

These butter cookies with raisins are a delightful treat! They have a perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of tanginess from the raisins. The texture is soft and crumbly, just how I like it. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great.
