Golden Raisin Cookies

This recipe was given to me by a good friend. They are a nice mild cookie that keeps well.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened (no substitutes)
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 eggs
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 (15 ounce) package golden raisins (2 1/2 cups)

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add lemon juice and eggs.
3. Combine dry ingredients and gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in raisins.
4. Roll into 1 inch balls (I use a scoop). Place on greased cookie sheets and flatten with a floured fork.
5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
