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.

Steps:
- 1. Cream together sugar, eggs, shortening, and vanilla. Sift together 5 cups flour, salt, cream of tartar, and soda. Add alternately with milk. Add last cup flour gradually. Dough should be soft. Chill thoroughly.
- 2. Combine ingredients for filling in saucepan. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring, until thickened. Cool. After dough and filling are chilled, roll dough 1/4 inch thick on floured board. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter dipped in flour. Cut out cookies and place on lightly greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling on cookie circle, then top with another cookie circle. Press edges together with a fork and prick top of cookies to allow steam to escape. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Time will vary by thickness of cookies and amount of filling used so watch closely while baking..
