Oatmeal Cookies

I have a cookbook, The Harmony Kitchen Cookbook published by the Twin Falls Chapter of Sweet Adelines, April 1977, that Grandma Birrell gave to me. I thought that it would be nice to post all of her recipes.

1 1/2 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 - 4 cups raisins - cooked until tender
2 teaspoon soda dissolved in 10 tablespoons raisin water
4 cups oatmeal
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 to 1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmet
1 teaspoon vanilla
nuts

Bake at 360 about 13 minutes. You can adjust amount of raisins to your own taste.
