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.

I saw this recipe on the web and thought it looked so good I had to try it immediately - so I did! The results were wonderful. Even my fiance (who swears he doesn't like pineapple) thought they were great. I found a couple of similar recipes on zaar, but not one exactly like this.
