This recipe is from my grandma Blair. My dad who is diabetic loves these cookies so I adjust the recipe to make them with granulated Splenda and shorten the baking time. He enjoys them so much. When using the Splenda, they are a bit more dry than when baking with sugar. This recipe is my grandmothers original and contains sugar.

Step-by-Step

Combing raisins and water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cream sugar, vanilla, and crisco. Add spices then and eggs. Mix well with electric mixer, and gradually add in remaining ingredients. Use the water from the raisins as needed.
Mix in the chopped walnuts and raisins by hand as to not crush them.
