1 c. shortening
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 c. milk
2 tsp. vanilla
4 c. flour
5 tsp. baking powder

Cream shortening and sugar together. Add eggs and mix well. Add milk and vanilla; mix. Add dry ingredients and mix. This is a basic cookie recipe. To this you may add ground raisins, drained crushed pineapple, nuts and chocolate chips. My family liked to go all out and liked the combination of chocolate chips, nuts and coconut flakes. Bake at 375 degrees about 10 minutes.
