Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 cups seedless raisins
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
Chop raisins finely in food processor with 1/4 cup flour. Sift 2
cups flour with soda, cream of tartar, and spices. Cream butter
with sugar. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk until well
blended. Stir in raisins and enough additional flour, up to 3/4
cup, to make a stiff dough. Shape into two logs, about 1-1/2"
diameter. Chill overnight or freeze.
When ready to make, slice to desired thickness and bake at
375-400 degrees until done (15-20 minutes). See NOTES.

Serving Ideas : Serving size = 2 to 4 cookies.
NOTES : These are the best homemade "slice and serve" cookies. The
dough freezes beautifully in logs that can be kept on hand for fresh
cookies baked in minutes. They may be sliced thinly and baked quickly
for elegant, crisp tea cookies, or sliced 1/4" or more thick and baked
in a slower oven until just set for a rich, chewy, New England Hermit.
