BRANDIED
RAISIN COOKIES
(Yield: 2 dozen)
3½ cups self-rising flour
1½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
½ cup golden raisins, chopped
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons brandy
In a medium bowl, combine flour, nutmeg, and raisins; toss to mix
well. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in
brandy. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Form the
dough into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray large baking sheets with non-stick
vegetable spray.
On a lightly floured board, roll dough to ¼-inch thickness;
cut with 3-inch cookie cutters. Place, 1-inch apart, on prepared
baking sheets.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
Remove from baking sheets; cool on a wire rack.
