Sure! Here's a simple way to make raisin-filled cookies using store-bought sugar cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1 package of store-bought sugar cookie dough
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Raisin Filling:**
- In a small saucepan, combine the raisins, water, and granulated sugar.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the raisins are plump and the liquid has reduced.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little bit of water to make a slurry, then add it to the raisin mixture.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool completely.
2. **Prepare the Cookies:**
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the sugar cookie dough package.
- Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough.
3. **Assemble the Cookies:**
- Place a small spoonful of the raisin filling in the center of half of the cookie circles.
- If using, sprinkle a few chopped walnuts on top of the filling.
- Place another cookie circle on top and press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
4. **Bake:**
- Place the filled cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake according to the sugar cookie dough package instructions, usually around 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
