- 1/2 Cup butter, softened

- 1/4 Teaspoon salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon baking powder
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla
- 11/2 Cups all-purpose flour

Procedure
In a small saucepan, cover raisins with water and bring to boil. Remove from heat and drain; cool completely.
In mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, salt, baking powder and zests until well combined, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Add egg, milk and vanilla; mix well. Beat in as much flour as possible with mixer. Then, mix in remaining flour and raisins by hand. Cover dough and chill for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll dough into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Arrange on parchment-lined cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten using bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until bottoms are slightly browned. Cool on pan for a few minutes; transfer to wire rack and cool completely.
