GRANDMA M'S SOFT RAISIN SPICE COOKIES



Grandma M's Soft Raisin Spice Cookies image

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.

Provided by KennKonn

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 25m

Yield 18-24 Cookies, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup nuts
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup hot water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar.
  • Add well beaten egg.
  • Sift flour and spices.
  • Add raisins and nuts.
  • Mix together nuts and raisins in flour.
  • Slowly add flour, spice, nuts and raisins to egg, butter and sugar.
  • Add quickly baking soda dissolved in hot water.
  • Mix well until all liquid comes together.
  • Drop from spoon on greased pan.
  • Bake 10 minutes at 350. Watch, till slightly browning on the bottom edge.
  • These might take a tad longer in your oven, mine cooks high. This is just a guesstimate because Grandma just had Bake as the next instruction so time and heat was a guess for me. They are nice and soft and I have double the recipe without any problems.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing the flesh, or you can use canned pumpkin puree.
  • Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • 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 hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

These spiced pumpkin raisin cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for fall. They are soft and chewy, with a warm and inviting flavor. The pumpkin puree and raisins add a moistness and sweetness that make these cookies irresistible. Whether you are looking for a snack, a dessert, or a gift, these cookies are sure to please everyone.
