I found this recipe for a chewy raisin cookie in one of the many Amish cookbooks I own. I haven't seen it duplicated anywhere else. Ingredients:
1 cup raisins |
1 cup water |
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 cups packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine raisins and water. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in raisins with liquid.
3. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until the surface cracks. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 6 dozen.
