Another famous Christmas cookie recipe from Phyllis Bailey. The yield size is estimated as I have not made these yet. The prep time listed is for refrigerating the dough overnight. Ingredients:
1 egg |
1/2 cup milk |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup butter |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
3 1/2 cups flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 (13 -15 ounce) box raisins |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1 teaspoon flour |
Directions:
1. Mix together the egg and the milk and blend this together with the rest of the cookie ingredients. Chill the dough overnight.
2. The next day: Combine the raisins, sugar, water and flour in a saucepan and cook until thick. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. When ready to use the dough, roll out until about 1/8th inch thick.
4. Cut with 2 1/2 inch round cutter. Place a teaspoon of the raisin mixture in the center of the circle and cover with another circle. Press the edges together with a fork.
5. Bake at 425 degrees for 6-10 minutes.
