This blog is for the posting of Vintage Recipes. I have inherited recipes from both my grandmothers, mother, aunts, etc over the years. I am also a cookbook collector with several old cookbooks in my possession. My goal here is to share with you older recipes that have been lost to many. I hope you will enjoy my blogs and some old memories will be revived by some of the recipes. Note:To save the vintage value of these recipes, I make no changes. You see the original recipe as written.

RAISIN FILLED COOKIES
This recipe is from an old church cookbook from the Midwest.
1 cup shortening
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp soda
4 cups flour (or enough to make a soft dough)
Filling:
2 cups raisins, ground
1 level tsp salt
1 tsp vinegar
1 cup hot water
1 cup sugar
2 tbsps flour or cornstarch
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine shortening, sour cream, eggs, vanilla, sugar, salt, baking powder, and soda. Combine the mixture well. Gradually add enough of the flour to make a soft dough. Roll the dough thin and cut out with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the filling atop one cookie and cover with another one. Using a fork or your fingers, press down the edges to seal. Bake 6 minutes on the bottom oven rack then move to top rack for 6 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen cookies, depending on size.
