Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F, grease baking sheets and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and brown sugar. Then add the eggs and vanilla and beat the mixture until it's fluffy.

Sift together 2 cups of the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add the sifted ingredients and the oats to the creamed mixture. Blend well.

In a separate bowl, stir together the remaining 2/3 cup flour, apples, raisins and walnuts. Fold this mixture in with the rest of the batter.

Drop by the teaspoon 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the edges are golden, about 12 minutes.

Cool the cookies on a wire rack or a plate and then put into a sealed container. These cookies will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
