Grandma's Raisin Filled Cookies

In honor of my Dad's birthday today, I wanted to post this very special cookie recipe. I remember my wonderful grandma making a large container of these for my dad every year for his special day.

My sisters and I were usually allowed to eat ONE...the rest were dad's!

I'm afraid I don't have a picture for you, but they look just like a fat sugar cookie...and taste delicious!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD! Love you!

I remember a recipe like this from my childhood. My grandparents owned a bakery, and I think the cookies came from there. Now I'll have to make them at home!
