Personal Notes:
The original recipe, that came from Grandma Swetland, called for bacon grease instead of shortening. I've made them with bacon grease and they do not taste like bacon, but are very rich.
I've started boiling my raisins till soft before adding them. It makes a softer cookie . Be sure to squeeze out excess water though, if you boil them
If using dry raisins, mix them with a little flour before adding to prevent them from sticking together.
