Knead in raisins and roll out the dough on a floured surface approximately 3/4 inch thick. Cut into circles approximately 2 inches in diameter. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, brush with beaten egg yolk and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes in hot oven. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
