4 eggs
2 tbsp. milk or water
1 tsp. vanilla
6 cups flour
2 tsp. soda

Filling
2 cups ground raisins
3/4 cups sugar
2 tbsp. flour
1 cup water
1 tsp. vanilla
Heat and let come to a boil. Watch as this burns very easily. Will be of jammy consistency. Slice roll thin, add spoon full of filling. Put another slice on top. This cookie does not have to be sealed as the filling will not run out. Cook at 375 degrees until lightly browned. Peanut butter, apple sauce, nuts and mince meat may be used to extend filling.
