  • In a small bowl, combine the eggs, raisins, and vanilla. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture and stir until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed.
