Preparation
Step 1
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar and corn syrup; beat until combined. Add egg, milk, vanilla, and lemon flavoring; beat well. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed until combined. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill about 1 hour or until easy to handle.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into rounds with a 2-1/2-inch cookie cutter.
Place half of the cookies on lightly greased cookie sheets. Spoon a rounded teaspoon of Raisin-Nut Filling onto center of each cookie. Top with remaining cookies. Seal edges with a fork. Bake in a 375 degree F. oven for 10 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack. Makes about 32 cookies.
