Filled Raisin (MM) Cookies

Heaven.  Heaven on a cookie sheet, if you like raisin filled cookies.  Use a jar of the mince fruit I canned :)

2 cups shortening
2 cups sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 eggs
2 Tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla
6 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Cream together shortening and sugars.  Add eggs, milk, and vanilla.  Mix in a seperate bowl: flour, soda and salt.  Add to wet mixture and mix to combine.  Seperate into 5 or six equal parts and form into rolls in wax paper.  Freeze until solid (ish) about 30 minutes.  Slice into 3/8" slices, and place one layer on a baking sheet.  Fill with 1 tsp mince fruit, and then cover mince with another slice of cookie dough.  Do NOT flatten, press, or seal.  They will bake and seal in the oven for you.  Bake 375 Degrees  for 10 minutes.

**Note:  I did this recipe and these cookies were fantastic.  But I made the rolls too big and only came out with about two dozen cookies that had to be baked a bit longer.  I will make my rolled dough cylinders smaller next time.
