Sauerkraut-Raisin Drops

I saw this recipe at a defunct food blog. The writer said she'd never tried her grandmother's recipe because sauerkraut made her gag. I rushed right to the kitchen to make a batch, but discovered I was out of sauerkraut. Sigh. Maybe next week. My mouth is watering, so I ate some Girl Scout cookies instead. Not the same.

Sauerkraut-Raisin Drops

3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 8-ounce can sauerkraut, drained
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup raisins

In mixer bowl, beat the 3/4 cup butter and brown sugar till fluffy. Add egg, milk and the teaspoon of vanilla. Beat till fluffy. Rinse sauerkraut, drain. Stir sauerkraut into creamed mixture. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix dry ingredients into batter. Stir in the raisins. Drop from a teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Cool.

Do not frost.

Update: Made these on the 23rd. Really yummy. Can't taste the sauerkraut. However, it's hard to find an 8 oz. can of sauerkraut.
