I started this blog...

as a way of compiling all my families favorite recipes all together in one place.
My daughter asked me if I would write down a certain something I make so
she has it when she grows up and has a family. I thought that was a good idea,
so I decided to combine all our favorites and make one big book. It will be a
work in progress and a way for me to ORGANIZE all the recipes stashed in
the cupboard. And I've realized, I like taking pictures of food!

Soft Raisin Cookies

I asked my mom to bake some of these for Braeli's baptism luncheon. The recipe is Grandma Callie's. They are my mom's favorite and one of mine, too. Not sure I can say I have a favorite cookie, though, cause I just love cookies. These are delicious!
1 1/2 c. raisins
1 c. water
Simmer together until raisins absorb all water - set aside to cool)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
3 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 1/2 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
3 c. flour (my mom uses 3 1/2 - 4 c.)
Add walnuts, if desired
Combine together well and add raisins. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls. Roll in sugar. Bake on greased cookie sheet @ 375 degrees 10-12 minutes.
