Cleo's Raisin Filled Cookie Bars image

I had these when I was growing up and truly missed them as I got older. I have have many a raisin cookie and I went asking my mom for this recipe because it was always the best. Cleo is one of my mom's best friends and I have held onto this one and cherished it.
