Soft Raisin Cookies rec.food.cooking/Nancy Dooley (1998)
This is my very best recipe for soft raisin cookies - someone wanted soft oatmeal/raisin cookies, but I've never put oatmeal in these. A person probably could do so.
Combine and cook 5 minutes: 2 cups raisins 1 cup water
Let cool slightly and drain the raisins, saving the raisin water.
Blend together: 1 cup shortening 2 cups sugar Add: 3 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla
Sift together, and add alternately with water from the raisins: 4 cups flour 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Add: the cooked raisins. Stir to thoroughly mix.
Put on lightly greased or papered cookie sheets bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Frost with vanilla butter cream frosting, if desired.
