Ingredients:

Serving

2/3 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups nuts, chopped
2 cups dates, pitted and chopped
1 orange , grated rind of it
2 tbsp orange juice
1 1/2 cups flour , sifted
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp clove
1/2 tsp allspice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375.
Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs and cream further.
Add nuts, dates and orange.
Sift remaining ingredients together.
Add sifted to creamed gradually.
Drop by teaspoon full on silpat lined sheets.
Bake 12-15 minutes.
Store in an airtight container with a couple wedges of apple. This keeps the cookies nice and soft. OR do like me and keep the dough in the fridge only cooking what I want to eat.
