Recipe View 5 mins Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)

For the raisin paste, soak 2 cups of raisins in hot water for about 30 minutes until softened. Drain well and then process in a food processor until a smooth paste forms. You may need to add a tablespoon or two of the soaking water to achieve the desired consistency.
To enhance the nutty flavor, toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant, before adding them to the dough. Allow them to cool slightly before using.
These cookies freeze exceptionally well. Once completely cooled, store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar.

    I added a pinch of ground cloves to the spice mix, and it gave the cookies an extra layer of warmth and flavor.
