Hi Nancy,

I have a feeling this isn't the recipe you're looking for but thought I'd post it just in case you want to experiment. Hopefully somone will have the right one for you.

Black Walnut Filled Christmas Cookies

DOUGH:
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. soda
2 tsp. cream of tartar

FILLING:
1 cup raisins
1 cup coconut
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
3 tbsp. flour
1/2 cup black walnuts

FILLING:
Mix all ingredients together and cook 5 minutes or until clear.

Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy; stir in egg. Combine milk and vanilla; set aside. Combine flour, soda and cream of tartar; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture and mixing well after each addition. Roll half of dough on lightly floured board to 1/8 inch thickness, cut with 2 inch round cookie cutters. Place on lightly greased baking sheets; spread 1 teaspoon filling over each. Roll remaining dough to 1/8 inch thickness; cut with 2 inch round cookie cutters and place over filling. Lightly press outer edges together. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Happy Baking,

Betsy
