1/2 c. shortening
1 c. brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1/2 c. quick oats
1 c. raisins or dates
1 1/2 c. finely chopped apples
1 c. nuts, chopped
1 tsp. lemon peel
2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Cream shortening and sugar, add eggs and blend. Stir in oatmeal, raisins, nuts, apples, lemon peel. Sift flour with salt, soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir into creamed mixture. Drop by teaspoons on greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes. I flatten these with a fork and then ice with powdered sugar for a tea and they are very good.
