Hello! I also remember the raisin cookies (and yes, my mother sometimes bought them, too).. A quick Google search directed me to the King Arthur site where I was reminded that they were called Golden Raisin Biscuits, made by a company called Sunshine. Sunshine was bought by Keebler in 1996, at which point they ceased production of these cookies. It looks like they are still made by a company in the UK where they are called Garibaldi Biscuits. Thank you for the memory and the recipe!
I loved the Golden Raisin biscuits from childhood into adulthood! I offered them to my kids and ended up eating all of them myself! Must try these! thanks for the tips at the end.
thanks for sharing the recipe! do you think the filling could be made with dried cherries instead? or replace the filling with a berry jam? i want to try this recipe this wknd, but am hoping to work out of the pantry :) thank you!
I'd like to brighten up the filling with more orange. Do you think substituting some of the filling volume for store-bought marmalade would work well? Any suggestions for keeping the texture a little thicker after adding the marmalade, or other ways to add more citrus to the flavor?
I'd like to mail these to friends and family across the country, since we won't be traveling for the holidays this year. Should I bake, freeze, and then mail so that they thaw en route? I feel like this would increase their shelf-life, but am I just asking for soggy cookies? What would you do?
I love that free-form look. Those cookies should be in MoMA.

OMG!!! Hyperbole can’t describe the aroma of the filling when it’s cooking!!!!
I'll be making these tomorrow! Thank you!
Oh my god the house smells like christmas. I used marsala as that's all i had. And the fig filling is delish on toast with hazelnut creme 🤤
Hi! Do you think this would work well with dates in the filling instead of figs?
