GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED FILLED COOKIES

Grandma's Old Fashioned Filled Cookies image

Grandma made these cookies but Grandpa Carr handed them out to kids. He had a rule: If 2 cookies stick together you get them both. I usually make these with cherry or apricot filling now, but Grandma almost always used raisins.
