Jutta's Raisin Cookies recipe written years ago on an index card. My grandmother Jutta Almy of Carlsbad, New Mexico, was quite a talented baker who baked cookies and beautiful cakes for every occasion and even no occasion. Her Raisin Cookies, soft and spicy, were a cookie jar staple that we gobbled up with gallons of ice cold milk. Raisin Cookies are very popular, probably because of their soft and chewy texture and buttery sweet flavor.

Add the raisins, vanilla and cinnamon and stir to blend. In large bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
