Raisin Cookies
Cream together one cupful of butter and one cupful of sugar, add two eggs well beaten; then add one teaspoonful of soda and two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar dissolved in a little lukewarm water. Now stir in three cupfuls of flour, one cupful of chopped raisins, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, and one-fourth teaspoonful of nutmeg. Drop the batter in spoonfuls on a well-buttered pan, being careful to leave room for the cakes to spread. Bake in a moderate oven until a nice brown color.
