Steps:

Raisin filling:
Put raisins in a pan and cover with water. Boil for 5 minutes.
Mix together sugar, butter, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, flour, and 1/4 cup water. Add to the raisin mixture and turn the heat down to low setting. Stir and cook until it thickens - about 5 to 7 minutes.
Set aside to cool while you make the cookie dough.
Cookie Dough:
Combine softened butter, shortening, vanilla, and sugar. Add in egg.
Stir flour, salt, and baking powder together in another bowl. Add dry mixture to the butter mixture and add milk. Stir in well.
Chill dough for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Roll dough about 1/8 inch thick.
Cut into circles with a 3 inch round cookie cutter. You could also use the top of a glass that is 3 inches in diameter.
Place cookie dough circle on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place a tablespoon of raisin filling in the center of the cookie. Top with a second cookie and seal the edges with a fork.
Bake at 375 for 10 to 12 minutes or until very lightly browned.
Glaze:
When cookies are cooled mix together the melted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.
Frost the tops of each cookie.
