Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine the first six ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cool.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until easy to handle.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Place 1 teaspoon of raisin filling in the center of each cookie. Roll out remaining dough. Cut with a 2-in. cookie cutter. With a 1-in. round cookie cutter, cut a hole in the center of each; place over filling. With a fork, press edges to seal.
4. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
