This is not a cookie.

But it is tasty.

Irish Soda Bread

2 c flour

3/4 t baking soda

1 t salt

2 T sugar

6 T butter

1 c raisins

1 T caraway seeds

1/2 to 2/3 c buttermilk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add raisins and caraway seeds. Gradually stir in buttermilk, adding just enough to form a dough. Knead a few times and shape into a round loaf. Place on a greased or parchment-covered baking sheet. Cut a bold cross on the top, extending over the sides. Brush with milk. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes.

Edited to increase the salt from 1/2 t to 1 t.
