Apple Raisin Cookies

I made these last year and they turned out delicious, so I made them again this year! :)

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup chopped apples

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. Cream shortening, sugar and egg. Add half of the dry ingredients.
3. Blend in milk and remaining dry ingredients.
4. Add nuts, raisins, apples and mix.
5. Drop on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

The original recipe (click here) called for walnuts and a vanilla glaze, but I found they were fine without that.
