Grandma was the absolute best cook and baker I have ever had the pleasure to know. Every Christmas she would make her Raisin Filled Cookies and the smells coming from her kitchen were absolute heaven. I miss & love you Grandma!

How to Make My Grandma's (Beulah Patton) Raisin Filled Cookies

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Make Filling:
2 cups raisins covered with 1 inch of water. Cook for 15 minutes.
Then add:
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons plain flour or 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Stir until thickened and remove from heat to cool.
Mix ingredients for cookie dough while raisin filling is cooling.
Roll out dough and cut out cookies with a biscuit cutter, a clean empty vegetable can, a jar or drinking cup (depending on how big you want your cookies). Spoon 1 tsp to 1 tbsp filling(depending on the size of your cookie)onto center of cookies and top with another cookie that has a slit cut in the center for steam to escape. Seal the cookies around the edges. Bake in 350° oven until golden brown.
