Corn Meal Cookies

1/4 | FULL                          1/4 | FULL
1      4 c. margarine            3      12 c. sifted flour
1½   6 c. sugar                   1      4 tsp. baking powder
2      8 eggs                        1      4 tsp. nutmeg
1      4 tsp. lemon extract    1/2   2 tsp. salt
3/4   3 c. raisins                 1      4 c. corn meal (yellow)

Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs - beat well. Add lemon extract. Dredge raisins in a little of the flour. Sift dry ingredients and add. Use one large tablespoonful of dough for each cookie. Flatten with glass (which has been well buttered and dipped occasionally in sugar - which will give a slightly sugared topping to the cookies).

Bake at 400 deg. for 10-12 minutes, until pale golden brown around edges. (NOTE: The 1/4 recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies.)
