Here is an old-fashioned, delicious cookie recipe. Don't let the raisins in this recipe put you off; they are prepared to be plump, juicy and sweet in this cookie. A former boss used to
make these for her employees each year for Christmas and I begged her for the recipe. Thanks Janice! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water
2 cups raisins
1 cup melted shortening
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
