These cookies are amazing! They were more like cream cheese bars because the cream cheese on the top was still a little too soft to eat with your hands. I made them a couple days ago and they were a huge hit! I did alter them a little by not adding the raisins, lemon juice, and nutmeg and substituted with cinnamon and a little rum. They are a little sweet but YUMMY! Thank you!
