This recipe is my Great Grandma Riddell's recipe. These cookies are very tasty and very moist. One tends to eat the cookie dough before they are baked because they are so tasty.
Cook 5 minutes: 1 cup water and 2 cups raisins. Than cool.
Cream: 1 cup shortening and 2 cups sugar.
Add: 3 eggs and beat well.
Add 1 tsp. vanilla and cooked raisins with any liquid left after cooking.
Add 1 cup nuts,chopped.
Lastly add: 4 cups flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. soda, 2 tsp. salt, 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and 1/4 tsp. allspice.
Bake 400 degree for 12-15 minutes. Store in air-tight container.
If all of these spices are not available, increase the amount of cinnamon.
