Filling:

• 1 cup raisins
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons flour

Cookie:

• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup Crisco
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon soda dissolved in small amount of water
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• dash of salt

Cook the filing ingredients together until thick, let cool.  Mix cookie ingredients and chill.  Roll out on floured board and cut with round cutter.  Place cookie on sheet, top with spoonful of cooled filling and then a second cookie.  Press edges to seal, can use a fork.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes or until browned.  Like little raisin pies.
