    List of Ingredients




    Cookie Dough:
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 cup shortening
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour *see note below for self-rising flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    milk
    sugar

    Raisin Filling:
    2 cups chopped or ground raisins
    3/4 cup sugar
    3/4 cup water
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts

    Recipe



    Mix 1 cup sugar, the shortening, eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, salt and baking soda. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.


    ---Prepare Filling---

    In a saucepan, combine raisin filling ingredients.
    Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Cool completely.

    Heat oven to 400°. Roll dough about 1/16-inch thick on a floured surface. Cut into 3-inch rounds or squares. Spoon about 1 teaspoon raisin filling onto one side of each circle leaving enough of an edge to seal. Fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal. Place cookies about 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

    Bake until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove from baking sheet. Makes about 4 1/2 dozen raisin turnover cookies.

    *If using self-rising flour, omit salt and baking soda.
