GRANDMA M'S SOFT RAISIN SPICE COOKIES



Grandma M's Soft Raisin Spice Cookies image

I have craved these for weeks and it took me that long to find them in her collection. Grandma has been gone for two years and I miss her baking so much. I couldn't find the recipe because she called them Delicious Drop Cakes but they are cookies.

Provided by KennKonn

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 25m

Yield 18-24 Cookies, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup nuts
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup hot water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar.
  • Add well beaten egg.
  • Sift flour and spices.
  • Add raisins and nuts.
  • Mix together nuts and raisins in flour.
  • Slowly add flour, spice, nuts and raisins to egg, butter and sugar.
  • Add quickly baking soda dissolved in hot water.
  • Mix well until all liquid comes together.
  • Drop from spoon on greased pan.
  • Bake 10 minutes at 350. Watch, till slightly browning on the bottom edge.
  • These might take a tad longer in your oven, mine cooks high. This is just a guesstimate because Grandma just had Bake as the next instruction so time and heat was a guess for me. They are nice and soft and I have double the recipe without any problems.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, which will make the cookies tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Carrot raisin spice cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a sweet and spicy flavor. These cookies are also a good source of vitamins A and C. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give carrot raisin spice cookies a try!
