directions
- ((I soak my raisins in water for a few hours before making the cookies, just to plump 'em up.)).
- Stir together flour, soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt. Mix in cereal and raisins. Set aside.
- Cream together shortening and brown sugar in large mixer bowl. Beat in eggs and molasses. Stir in dry ingredients mixing until well combined ( mixture will be quite dry ).
- Shape dough into 4 cm (1 1/2") balls; roll in granulated sugar if desired. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets and flatten with a fork, allowing 6 cookies per sheet.
- Bake at 190C (375F) 7 - 8 minutes or until lightly browned. ( Do not overbake or cookies become very crunchy when cooled ) . Cool on baking sheets 2 - 3 minutes, then remove to racks to cool completely. Store in airtight container.
