Time 20m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets. In a small shallow dish, stir together the cinnamon and white sugar; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar and nutmeg. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg, and mix into a stiff dough. It may take a minute or two for the dough to come together. Mix in raisins. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned just around the edges. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks to cool.
