Raisin Filled Cookies

March 15, 2011 by mandyrecipebox

Raisin Filled Cookies have been around for many years and are sure to bring back memories with each bite. I can taste my childhood in them and it’s so good!

These Raisin Filled Cookies are from my childhood. I loved them then, and I still do. Before I made these, I hadn’t had them since I was little. Then I thought of them and called my mom for the recipe. One bite and it was like it hadn’t been so long since I enjoyed them. They just make my mouth so happy.

    These look like great cookies! Kind of remind me of a date-filled cookie my grandma makes — thanks for the recipe.

    Hi Mandy – your raisin cookies look terrific. I love recipes that remind us of our childhood! I posted my Mint Choco cookies, but mispelled and can't figure out how to delete and take care of it. If I can do something from my end, would you please let me know how to fix that. Thanks. Have a tasty Tuesday!
