Grandma’s Boston Cookie Recipe

I have no idea why they are called Boston cookies. I’ve made them before obviously but I still don’t get it. They are a raisin walnut cookie and even though I don’t like walnuts I eat these. At least this time I remembered the cinnamon. Some days I can be so out of it.

I used egg replacer again and made a half batch. Still makes quite a bit!

Boston Cookies
Grandma Doyle

1 Cup Shortening
1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar
3 Eggs (I use egg replacer)
3 1/4 Cups Flour
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Salt
1 Cup Raisins
1 tsp Baking Soda
Nuts & Flavouring (I add 1 Cup Walnuts and Vanilla Extract)

Method:
Cream shortening, sugar and eggs. Add 3 cups flour with baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Put a little flour over nuts and add flavouring. Dop on cookie sheet, bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Makes 4 dozen. (ps, you might need more flour or water, I did. Just add it until it forms a nice dough, similar to chocolate chip cookie dough)
