Raisin Cookie Recipe and White Chicken Chili

Here is the recipe for the Raisin Cookies that we served at Glenda's funeral...

Boiled Raisin Cookies

Boil 1 1/2 cups raisins in 1 cup of water until dry.

Cream:  1 cup shortening and 1 heaping cup sugar

Add: 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 3 cups flour, 3 beaten eggs, 1 tsp. vanilla.

Mix, then add raisins last.  Roll into balls and roll in powdered sugar. 

Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes.  DON'T OVERBAKE!!  I start checking them at 10 minutes because my oven bakes hot.  They just need to be golden brown on top. 

Also, don't make them too large!! 

 Easy and SO GOOD!!!
