    Holiday Chocolate Raisin Cookies

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup butter or margarine -- softened
    1/3 cup granulated sugar
    1 Egg yolk
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 cup flour
    3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/2 cup natural raisins

    Recipe





    Cream butter and sugar. Beat in yolk and salt. Mix in flour
    and cocoa just to blend thoroughly. Mix in raisins to
    distribute evenly. On lightly floured surface, roll into a 12"
    long. Wrap securely and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up
    to 1 week. With sharp knife, cut 1/3" thick slices, and
    place 1" apart on baking sheets. Bake in preheated 350
    degree oven 15 to 20 minutes until cookies are set and
    bottoms are lightly browned. Remove to racks to cool
    completely. Decorate as desired with melted semi-sweet or
    white chocolate, and top with colored sprinkles, raisins,
    nuts, or candied fruit pieces. Allow to set before storing in
    layers between sheets of waxed paper in airtight container.
