Honey Drop Cookies

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon soda
• 1 cup raisins, cut fine

Instructions

1. Warm the honey and shortening until melted. While the mixture is warm add the spices. When cold add the water, the beaten egg, and one-and-one-half cups of flour sifted with the baking-powder and soda. Finally stir in the raisins. Sufficient flour must be added to make a dough stiff enough to drop from a spoon. Bake in a moderately hot oven for 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
