RAISIN FILLED COOKIES
2 c. brown sugar
1 c. oleo or shortening
3 eggs (well beaten)
1 tsp. vanilla
4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
Mix and chill.
FILLING:
1 1/2 c. raisins
1 c. water
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Thicken with 1 T. flour. (The recipe doesn't say this, but I think you're supposed to cook the raisin mixture a bit to soften the raisins and thicken the mixture with the flour, but I'm not sure.) Chill.
Roll out chilled dough and cut with round cutter. Put 1 tsp. filling on dough (Mom used to put a little bit more than that); cover with another piece of cut dough. Close around edge with finger tips.
Now this particular recipe doesn't have an oven temperature or baking time, but you might want to try about 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until they start to lightly brown.
This recipe is from the Meals of Brethren Women Cook Book, No. 2, and was submitted by Joyce Clapper.Statistics: Posted by texas rose — Thu Aug 20, 2009 6:52 pm
