Filling Ingredients
1 lb raisins, washed and ground
1 dash salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/4 cup butter
4 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in
1/2 cup water
Cookie crust ingredients
1 1/2 cups shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (lemon or almond could be used)
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
5 cups all-purpose flour

1
For filling, mix raisins, salt, sugar, nutmeg, and vinegar in a sauce pan. Put on to boil and when boiling, add cornstarch dissolved in water. After it comes to a full boil again, remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2
For dough, cream the shortening, sugar, and eggs, and then add the salt, extract, milk, and nutmeg. Add enough flour (about 5 cups) to make the dough easy to handle.
3
Roll dough on a floured surface to a thickness similar to pie crust (about 1/8 inch). Use a cookie cutter to cut circles about 3 inches across. Drop a teaspoon of filling on a circle and cover with another, pressing out all air and press around the edges to seal.
4
Optional: Brush top surface with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
5
Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 F for 18-20 minutes.
