CINNAMON RAISIN DROPS


Homemade cookies are such pleasurable morsels. This is yet another lovely cookie I enjoy eating. Do get good quality raisins which gives a plump and juicy texture to the contrasting crisp cookie.


Recipe adapted from Her World Cookbook Vol.53
by Rohani Jelani


Ingredients

120g soft brown sugar
100g softened butter
1 egg
180g plain flour
1 level tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 level tsp ground nutmeg (I omitted this)
1/2 level tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/4 level tsp salt
50g raisins
2 Tbsp roughly chopped almonds (I used walnuts instead)


1. Cream the sugar and butter together until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and beat well until incorporated. Mix the flour, spices, soda and salt together and stir into the mixture, along with the raisins and almonds.

2. Using two teaspoons, drop small dollops of cookie dough onto a lightly greased baking tray, arranging them in neat rows. Leave a little room in between each cookie to allow for slight spreading.

3. Bake in an oven preheated to 190C for 15 to 18 minutes or until cookies are golden brown. Cool cookies on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
