My mom used to make raisin filled cookies and once I asked to make some but she said she didn't make them anymore because she got tired of filling the raisins. ;-) her sense of humor. Your recipe sounds good and easier too.

I think you get at least 4 dozen. Not real sure but I used the medium cookie scoop and it seems to make a lot.
