These cookies taste like raisin-filled but are a lot less work.
Original recipe makes 4 dozen
Ingredients
1 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups raisins, soaked in water and drained
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla. Mix in the flour and baking soda until combined. Then stir in the raisins just enough to distribute evenly.
- Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool on wire racks.
