   These are really great treats, I like them with milk in the evening. If I had won the lottery (I didn’t get around to buying a ticket) I would have started a mail order company and to sell “Grandpa Tom’s Raisin Filled Cookies” and compete with Mrs. Field’s Cookies!

   These look lovely … Very similar to our Christmas Mince Pies we have over here in England but these look like a much lighter version… And I love that they are frosted … Will be giving them a try soon .. Thank you for sharing

7. Cyd says:

   I don’t like raison could I used dried cherries instead
9. Cyd says:

   We have only made these cookies with raisins, so we aren’t sure how well dried cherries would work.

    I don’t like raisins either but have always really liked raisin filled cookies. My dad loved them. I wish he were still around to make these with me!! Guess I’ll have to make these and eat his share too:)

    I shoulda used more flour to start. Very sticky batter/dough even when cold. Looks GREAT, filling is wonderful, and frosting is to die for…
    You are correct at 24 per batch, had to redo scraps each go round, only got 8 circles cut before I had to cool dough and add flour again.
    I will try these again, yummy.

    Do you think it would be possible to chill the filling, making it thicker, then kind of wrapping the cookie dough around the filling to create a ball of cookie dough that contains the filling? I’ve made marshmallow stuffed cookies by wrapping the dough around a marshmallow. I want to make these for my dad, but just don’t have the time or space to roll out cookie dough.
13. Cyd says:

    Hi Danielle. We have only made these as directed in the recipe. The raisin filling thickens up when you cook it. I’m sure chilling it will thicken it up even more. Let us know how wrapping it up with dough into a ball works. We have not ever tried that. But it sounds like a fun way to make these delicious cookies. Keep us posted!!

    Sorry if this question has an obvious answer! But do you drain the water off of the raisins after boiling and before spice mixture?
15. Cyd says:

    Leave the water after boiling. Then you add in the spice mixture. It should all thicken up.
16. Melissa says:

    Just delicious, but I had to add a lot more flour in order to roll them out. Don’t know if I measured wrong or if it is supposed to be a very sticky dough. They came out great anyway even with all the extra flour.
17. Heidi says:

    These are also my Grandpa’s favorite cookie. 🙂 I make them for him every time he visits (once a year) and he rations them so he has one for every day of the 2 weeks he’s in town. Thank you for this recipe! I’ve been using a different one that takes a bit more time.
18. Cyd says:

    Thanks for leaving a sweet comment Heidi. Grandpa’s are the best. Our raisin filled loving grandpa passed away a year ago.

    I added a few chopped dates with the raisins, these cookies were Fabulous!

    I can not find the actual recipe on this page. Would you be able to share it with me.
    Thank you!

    I love this recipe and was so sad I came to make them and the recipe isn’t showing up 😭 I hope it’ll be back so I can make these delicious cookies again! I tried a different recipe that wasn’t as good lol
