Cookie Dough Instructions
  1. Combine all of the ingredients except the flour.

  2. Cream until smooth and slowly add the flour one cup at a time.

  3. Flour the countertop and roll out the sticky dough with a floured rolling pin to about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.

  4. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the size of the cookie you desire.

  5. Preheat the oven to (350°F) = (176°C) degrees.

Raisin Filling Instructions
  1. Combine the ingredients in a saucepan and stir constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer until thick.

  2. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly.

  3. Scoop one heaping tablespoon of the filling in the middle of one rolled-out cookie circle and place another cookie on top.

  4. Pinch the edges together with your fingers or a fork. Bake for 10-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the cookie dough.

  5. Bake longer if you like a crisp cookie. This recipe makes 12-24 cookies depending on the size cutter you use.
