Ingredients

How to make it

  • To make the dough, mix the flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside.
  • Cream the margarine with the brown sugar, and the white sugar.
  • Beat in the eggs, milk and vanilla.
  • Mix at high speed for 2 minutes, then reduce speed and gradually blend in the flour mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 3 hours.
  • To make the raisin filling, grind the raisins (I used my food processor).
  • In a medium saucepan combine the ground raisins, brown sugar, 1 cup water, salt and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Combine the cornstarch and 2 tbsp. of water and mix until smooth. Add to the raisin mixture and continue to simmer until thick.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Once cool, stir in the chopped nuts.
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Lightly grease baking sheets or use parchment paper.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to 1/8" thick. Cut in to 2 3/4" rounds.
  • Place rounds on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place a heaping teaspoon of the raisin filling on the cookie round and top with another round.
  • Crimp the edges closed.
  • Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes. The cookies are very pale looking but the bottoms will be nice and golden brown.
  • Allow cookies to cool on sheet until just barely warm.
