1 1/4 cups sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/3 cup water |
1 1/2 cups raisins |
1 cup yellow cake crumbs |
1 cup sifted powdered sugar |

Directions:
1. Cream shortening in a large mixing bowl; gradually add 1 1/4 cups sugar, beating well. Add egg; beat well. Stir in vanilla.
2. Combine flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with 1/8 cup water, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in raisins and cake crumbs.
3. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. With floured hands, roll each portion into a 6-inch log. Place 3 inches apart on well-greased cookie sheets; slightly flatten each log. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
