Janet's Raisin Puffs

1 cup water

1 1/2 cups raisins

3 1/2 cups flour

1 t. baking soda

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup butter

2 eggs

1 t. vanilla

1/2 cup sugar

1 t. cinnamon

1)  In a sauce pan, boil water. Add raisins, boil until the water is gone.

Cool.

Combine flour, soda and 1/2 t. salt in large bowl.

2)  Beat together sugar and butter until combined in a large bowl.

Add eggs and vanilla. Beat well.  Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.

Beat until blended.  Stir in raisins.

3)  Combine the 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon in a bowl.

Shape dough into 1" balls.  Roll in cinnamon-sugar.

Place 2" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Don't over cook.

Seems short.  But it's correct.

If you like raisins (or don't) you may just love these cookies....
