1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup dark or golden raisins
Raisins for decorating
Cream first four ingredients together. Add eggs; beat until light and fluffy. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk; mix until blended after each addition. Stir in 1/2 cup raisins. Chill dough. Roll small amounts at a time on floured surface to 1/4-in. thickness. Using a 1-lb coffee can, cut into circles. Place on greased cookie sheets. Decorate with raisins. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 10 to 12 min. Makes 1 doz. cookies.
