How to Make Pumpkin Raisin Filled Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease your cookie sheets and set aside. Make the filling by cooking together raisins, brown sugar flour boiling water and cinnamon. Cook until thick; set aside to cool.
- in a large mixing bowl cream together sugars, butter, Crisco, pumpkin, and vanilla until fluffy.
- Sift together the dry ingredients and add to wet mixture. Gradually add buttermilk; mix well. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or more.
- Remove and on a flowered surface roll out your dough and cut into a round (I use a glass - like grandma use to to). Place 1 Tblsp. filling in center and cover with another cookie round. Crimp the edges to seal.
- Bake for 15-20 mins. until golden brown.
