How to Make Michigan Rock Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease or butter two baking sheets.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts and 1 cup raisins.
  8. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a cookie top springs back when lightly touched.
