Raisin Creme Cookies!
Sometimes when you make a recipe you
start out with one thing in mind then slowly as you're mixing and stirring you
start thinking about other things and what you intended is nothing like what
you ended up with. I changed the recipe to begin with then baked it, ate one,
and decided it would be delicious with creme in the middle! It's not always a
bad thing to have something completely different from what you started out
making. Take these cookies for example.
I was intending to make a healthy
applesauce cookie, then the raisins sounded like a good addition. After I baked
them I decided they are sort of cake like, the way I remember the raisin creme
cookies from Little Debbie. I will say, apparently these are nothing like
those. But, I haven't had those in so many years I can't really say, my husband
does say though, that they are nothing like those. Either way, I really like
the way that these turned out. The vanilla marshmallow creme filling is
delicious to me. I kinda love them with the filling.
I'm sure you could change them up however
you want to, adding nuts and so forth. I will say though that these are cake
like cookies and not chewy cookies. Apparently my husband wanted to oatmeal
creme cookies but never shared that with me, except his slight disappointment
that I had sort of made the raisin creme cookies instead. I've made the oatmeal
ones before but I need to work on that recipe a little bit. I
want those to be chewier too! I almost added cranberries instead of raisins to
this cookie (omitting the apple juice because the cranberries I have are super
juicy), but I decided against it for whatever reason. I really like these and I
hope you do too! Happy Baking!
Raisin Creme Cookies
Makes about 18 sandwich cookies (36 individual)
Ingredients:
- - 3 tablespoons apple juice
- - 1 cup raisins
- - 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- - ¾ cup light brown sugar
- - 1 whole egg
- - 1 teaspoon baking soda
- - 1 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
- - 2 cups all-purpose flour
- - ½ teaspoon salt
- - ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- - 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened
- - 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- - ¾ cup marshmallow fluff
- - 3 tablespoons half and half (or coffee creamer)
- - ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375F. In a small bowl heat the
apple juice for 30 seconds in the microwave. Add the raisins and stir to make
sure all of them are moistened, set aside. Stir occasionally while making the
cookies.
2. In the bowl of a mixer blend together the butter
and sugar until fluffy, 1-2 minutes on medium. Add the egg, mix until blended.
Add the baking soda and applesauce and stir to combine. Sift the flour, salt,
and cinnamon into the applesauce mixture, stir until mixed.
3. Stir the raisins and apple juice into the cookie
dough in the mixer bowl. Portion out the dough in 1 tablespoon dollops on a
greased cookie sheet. Spread evenly into circles about ⅓”
thick using a lightly greased spatula (I used an angled metal cake decorating
spatula).
4. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
from oven, let cool on the pan for 1-2 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack
to cool completely.
5. In the bowl of a mixer blend together the 8
tablespoons of butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until fluffy, mix in
marshmallow fluff until combined. Add the half and half and vanilla extract and
stir until blended. Sandwich two cookies together with the marshmallow fluff
filling.
