Description

You’ve probably got all of the ingredients in your kitchen to make this one-pan bar cookie. Always a favorite with my children.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Raisins
  • 2 cups Water
  • ½ cups Margarine Or Butter
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Allspice
  • ½ teaspoons Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2 cups Flour

Preparation

In a medium-sized saucepan, boil 1 cup raisins in 2 cup water until approximately 1 cup of liquid remains. Cool slightly and add all of the remaining ingredients. Mix until blended. Pour into a greased jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 degrees (F) for 20 – 25 minutes. Glaze with a thin powdered sugar frosting if you like. (I like the glaze made with lemon juice or with lemon zest.)

Note: If you make this with just one cup of flour, it makes a nice pudding-like dessert topped with whipping cream.
