- lemon juice, to taste
Topping
- cinnamon, to taste
- sugar, to taste

- Grease cookie sheets.
- Combine ingredients for filling and mix well.
- Working with one dough ball at a time, roll out on a heavily floured board into a 6- to 7-inch square. Spread raisins and jam, sprinkle with filling and roll up jelly-roll style.
