Directions:
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugars and vanilla until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs, molasses and grated orange peel, mixing well.
- Into another mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, spices, and the salt; sift together. Add the flour mixture in batches to the shortening mixture, and blend the dough well. Add the raisins and walnuts to the blended dough and give a good stir. Chill the dough, covered, for 1 hour (preferably overnight).
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Shape the dough into 1/2 inch balls; dip one side of each ball into the granulated sugar, and arrange the balls, sugared sides up, about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake the cookies in batches in the middle of the preheated oven for 6 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. Transfer baked cookies to cooling racks.
- Enjoy with a tall glass of cold milk or a mug of steaming hot cocoa.
- Cook's Tip: Store cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
