These were a favorite cookie in my family when I was growing up, and we loved to help Mom make the thumbprints in each cookie, where the sweet raisin filling was placed before baking. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
3/4 cup peanut butter |
3/4 cup white sugar |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons milk |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup rolled oats |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/2 cups raisins |
1/4 cup white sugar |
3/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
Directions:
1. For cookies, cream margarine with peanut butter. Mix in sugar, then beat in eggs and milk. Stir in baking soda, oats, and flour.
2. To Make Filling: Combine raisins, water, and lemon juice. Heat until nearly boiling. Mix sugar with cornstarch; add enough (cold) water to make a paste. Stir into raisin mixture and heat until clear.
3. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Using your thumb, indent the center of each ball, making a fairly good-sized hollow spot. Fill with about a teaspoon of filling. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 10-12 minutes.
