These are my all time favorite cookies. I can't make them very often because I could eat them all in just a couple of days. I've been making these since I was a teenager. They are easy and they are the BEST.
Boil together for 5 minutes:
1 cup water
1 cup raisins
Set aside.
Cream together:
1 cup shortening and
1 3/4 cups sugar
Add:
1 teaspoon vanilla and
3 eggs, beaten
Mix together:
4 1/2 cups flour,
1 teaspoon baking powder,
1 teaspoon baking soda,
1 teaspoon salt,
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Add the raisins with the water and add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture. Mix well.
Add 1 cup nuts if desired.
Drop by teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
