DELICIOUS RAISIN-FILLED COOKIES
These cookies are my husband's favorite and are a must-have on four-wheeling trips because his grandma used to bring an ice-cream bucket full of them when they went out for a ride in the hills. I've tried other recipes I found on line, and they weren't what he remembered, so I finally tracked down Grandmas recipe and it's great. The vinegar in the filling gives it a tang rather than syrupy sweetness, and the cookie crisps up nicely.

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Optional: Brush top surface with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 F for 18-20 minutes.

GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED FILLED COOKIES
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.
