Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Unsalted Butter
- 1 ½ cups Soft Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs, Beaten
- 3 cups Gold Medal All-Purpose Flour, Recommended
- 2 tsp Clabber Girl Baking Powder, Recommended
- ¾ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- ¾ tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 6 tbsp Sour Cream
- 3 tbsp Milk
- ¾ cup Sun Maid Raisins, Recommended
- 1 ½ cups Icing Sugar (confectioner's sugar)
- ⅓ tsp Vanilla Essence
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and soft brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the beaten eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, making sure to beat well after each addition.
- In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Now, fold the sifted dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, alternating with the soured cream and milk. Make sure to mix until everything is well combined.
- Gently fold in the raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a greased baking sheet, leaving enough space between them for the cookies to spread while baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the cookies turn a beautiful golden brown.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the icing. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and add 3 tablespoons of boiling water and the vanilla essence. Stir until you have a smooth icing.
- Once the cookies are out of the oven, immediately brush the icing over them. Be generous with the icing to get that delicious sweetness.
- Put the iced cookies back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes. This will help the icing set and create a beautiful glaze.
- Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. This allows them to set properly.
- If you prefer, you can cool the cookies directly on the rack. Once they are cooled, prepare an alternative icing by sifting icing sugar into a bowl and adding 1 1/2 tablespoons of meringue powder. Whisk in the vanilla and boiling water until smooth. Spread this icing over the cookies and let it dry.
- Now, you have your delicious Copycat Mother's Iced Raisin Cookies ready to enjoy!
