Sift flour, baking powder, salt and allspice into bowl; mix well. Stir in raisins. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of mixture onto prepared baking sheets, spacing well apapt. Using a fork dipped in cold water, flatten each teaspoonful slightly. Bake about 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Meanwhile, prepare glaze. In a small bowl, beat together powdered sugar, half and half and vanilla until smooth. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, brush a thin layer of glaze over each one. Place on a wire rack to cool.
