These old-fashioned mildly sweet cookies are dotted with walnuts and raisins. We like them soft right from the oven. Later, they crisp up and are perfect for dunking.Denise and George Hymel, Gramercy, Louisiana Ingredients:

1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup molasses |
2 eggs |

1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar. Beat in molasses. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in raisins and nuts.
