Shortbread cookies with raisins

Description

Perfect with tea and coffee. I soak the raisins in rum before adding them to the dough, which gives the cookies a delicate and subtle aroma. Even if you're baking cookies for children, the rum won't hurt at all. I bake the cookies without adding eggs, which keeps the texture light. Serve warm or chilled. Ideal with tea.
