Frosted Raisin Bars image

aka Coffee Raisin Bars. A good "olde" recipe from the 50's. Posted in answer to a request. We've been enjoying these for years. One of those old-fashioned cookie bars people always like. Not elegant or gorgeous but just plain good.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup raisins

1 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening or 1/3 cup oleo
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons oleo

Steps:

  • Combine the liquid ingredients in pot, Bring to boil, boil 5 minutes, then let cool.
  • Combine the dry ingredients.
  • Mix dry ingredients with cooled ingredients.
  • Spread in greased floured 11 x 15 pan.
  • If batter is too thick, thin with sherry or rum or water before spreading.

  • I think you could adjust any of the spices to your own taste, but we liked it as is.
