Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 16

⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup water
1 cup raisins
1 ½ teaspoons butter
1 pinch salt
2 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine the 1/3 cup of sugar, water, raisins, butter and pinch of salt. Bring ingredients to a boil, and cook until thick, you should be able to see the bottom of the pan while stirring when finished. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Sift together the flour, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, salt and baking powder, set aside. In a medium bowl, cream shortening and sugar until smooth. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients, mix until blended, then finally stir in the milk.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2 1/2 inch circles. Place a teaspoon of filling onto the center of half of the cookies. Cover with the other half of the cookies. Press the edges together with the tines of a fork. Sprinkle with sugar and bake on unprepared cookie sheets for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven.
