Caraway (also Filled, or Jumble) Cookies

A basic cookie recipe. Rolled thin with caraway generously added (or chopped nuts or fine coconut), it makes a crisp delicacy with an old-fashioned flavor. Not so thinly rolled, with chopped raisins or dates, it makes a moister cookie. Cut round with a doughnut shaped round on top it makes old-fashioned "jumbles" to be topped with tart jelly. The same dough may be used for filled cookies with mincemeat or other raisin filling.
