Most pasta salads have a mayonnaise base, which I thought made a salmon pasta salad feel overly heavy. To add a little extra luxury, I substituted a sort of vinaigrette with a light dusting of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Any leftover salmon can be used in this dish.

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¾ cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets. In a small shallow dish, stir together the cinnamon and white sugar; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar and nutmeg. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg, and mix into a stiff dough. It may take a minute or two for the dough to come together. Mix in raisins. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned just around the edges. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks to cool.

Maybe 5 starts seems enthusiastic, but the balance of flavour, spice, raisins and cookie, and the ease of the process, deserves recognition!
I cut the recipe in half and followed it to a “T”; the result were TO DIE FOR:) They’re kind of like a Snickerdoodle with raisons. Picky hubby took one bite and pronounced them “Yummy.” Definitely a keeper.
My husband loves these. I made it for the first time today and I added the all spice and vanilla extract to it. They were perfect. So quick and easy to make.
I followed this recipe exactly as directed and they were great. My kids loved them. Next time, I will add a little vanilla as the other reviewers did. This is a keeper!
I wanted to bake something and looked at what was on hand…raisins! These are way better than I expected…I’ll make them again. Thanks!
Love these! I used 1 Cup WWflour/1 Cup APflour~ i also added approx 1 teaspoon cinnamon, dashes of nutmeg, allspice, and cloves, and the tiniest pinch of ginger. Really simple to make with a GREAT texture.
Absolutely wonderful recipe!!! My boyfriend, being a big raisin fan, absolutely loves these cookies 🙂 They seem to go just right with a cup of milk.
I made this recipe this afternoon for the first time. Very good. I like others added vanilla and a bit of allspice. My husband always tells me that I’m always making cookies with chocolate in them, thus my search led me to this chocolate free recipe.
These are the best cookies I’ve made in a long time. we just added 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and a splash of whole milk. absolutely a keeper!!!
Not what I expected but still good. I used 1 C wheat flour and 1 C white. These cookies are very dense and very sweet. The first one I wasn’t too sure about but the more I ate the more I liked them!
These cookies are a cross between a snickerdoodle and a sandie. I love how thick and dense they come out. I did half the batch with the raisins for my daughter and the other half with dried cranberries and chopped pecans for me. And then I proceeded to eat five of them! This is a keeper.
Excellent recipe! I used less raisins and added some almonds, sliced. As the almonds made the dough a bit dry I then added about 2 tbsp of maple syrup. It turned out to be one of the best cookies I’ve ever tasted.

Absolutley fantastic. Ready in minutes and eaten even quicker.
Excellent cookie! I added a teaspoon of vanilla and instead of the 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, I used 1 1/2 teaspoons allspice. That gave a slightly spicy taste. Also, I added about a 1/2 cup more raisins. Next time I will double the recipe-they went so fast! My 2 year old loved them!
