These are delicious cookies that my mother made at Christmas, but are good anytime. Try making them using pecans, but any nuts will do. I like them with a cup of coffee. Top these cookies with icing. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup sour cream |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
2 cups chopped pecans |
1 1/2 cups raisins |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Then stir in the sour cream. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, stir in the pecans and raisins. Cover dough and refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheet.
3. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. When cooled ice the cookies.
