Raisin-Filled Cookies Recipe
My Mother used to make Raisin-Filled Cookies all the time. They were a favorite of mine and I could eat a lot of them. I would put in a request for some and she would make them.
I don't remember but one other person in our family that would even eat one or two, but I loved them. Oh the smells of the kitchen. The aromas coming from the oven. Here is a wonderful recipe for them. If you love raisins like I do, you're going to love them.
