Cream sugar, eggs, shortening and vanilla. Sift together 5 cups flour, salt, cream of tartar, and baking soda. Add alternately, the flour mixture and milk to the creamed mixture. Add the last cup of flour gradually to make a soft dough. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Roll dough about 1/8 inch thick on a floured board. Cut dough into about 2 inch circles. Then place on a lightly greased cookie sheet a few inches apart. Place about 1 tsp of raisin filling in the center of each cookie. Top with another circle of dough. Press edges together to seal.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes
