Instructions: Pour boiling water over the raisins and let stand for about 10 minutes; drain the raisins. Cream butter, sugar and egg together well; add rest of ingredients including raisins and mix well. Refrigerate dough to chill.

Roll into 1-inch balls and place 2 to 2 1/2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. If you want, you can drop by tablespoons instead of putting into rolls. Flatten with a fork first one way and then the other. Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
