Place 1 teaspoon of raisin filling in the center of each cookie. Roll out remaining dough. Cut with a 2-in. cookie cutter. With a 1-in. round cookie cutter, cut a hole in the center of each; place over filling. With a fork, press edges to seal. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
But you could also add some molasses to the filling or a teaspoon or two of cinnamon. Ground cinnamon is often a beautiful complement to raisins. Use a thimble, or a thumb, to make a small indent in each cookie and that is where you'll put the raisin filling.
Making oatmeal raisin cookies healthy and diabetic friendly meant replacing the sugar with honey and applesauce. There are plenty of low carb oatmeal raisin cookie recipes using artificial sweeteners, but I make it a point to use natural sweeteners.
