A recipe found years ago in the paper, made often to appease the desires of my dad, his all-time very favorite cookie. This is a soft, melt-away, moist cookie loaded with succulent raisins and bursting with flavor! A delightful indulgence!!
*make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
Mix dry ingredients together. Cream shortening together with sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly together. Add raisins and water, mix by hand until completely incorporated.
