1 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 tablespoons molasses
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (8 ounce) can fruit cocktail, drained
1 cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
My mother had this recipe and it's every bit as good as it was then. The only problem with them is that---if they last long enough---the outside softens and they stick together. Good eating!

This old-fashioned favorite is crispy and chewy with a candy-coated surprise.
See how to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookie.
See how a dash of cayenne pepper really draws out the chocolate flavor.
