2 eggs
3/4 c. shortening
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 c. molasses
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. lemon juice (I use bottled)
1 c. raisins
1/2 c. walnuts

Cream sugar and shortening, add eggs and beat well. Add molasses, milk and lemon juice. Mix dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture. Add raisins and wwalnuts. Bake in 350 degree oven about 15 minutes or until light brown. Don't bake to much as this is a chewy cookie. Grease cookie sheet. Make 2 long strips on cookie sheet. Don't use to much dough and don't put them to close together because they have to have room to spread. When you take out of oven, cut into bars with knife. Separate and serve when cooled.
