Boil raisins in water for 5 mins and set aside to cool. Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add cooled raisins (IMPORTANT. INCLUDING THE JUICE/WATER.) Sift together all the dry ingredients. Add to raisin mixture and mix well. Drop by tspful onto cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes a lot. Enjoy.
