Mix ingredients in order given, sifting the flour with the bakingpowder and salt before adding it. Roll thin, cut, and put in greased pans. Place a teaspoon of filling on each, not allowing it to spread to the edge, place another cookie on top, press down the edges, and bake in shallow pans in a moderate oven (380-390° F.).

For the filling, take:

½ cup sugar

Mix sugar and flour together, add to the other ingredients, and cook until thick, stirring constantly. Dates, figs, prunes, apricots, or any marmalade may be used instead of raisins.
