Mix:
  • 1 cup shortening or butter
  • 2 cups sugar (1 cup can be brown sugar)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbs. grated orange rind
  • 1/2 cup orange or pineapple juice
Sift and add:
  • 5 cups flour
  • 2 tsp. soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. nutmeg
Mix in:
  • 2 cups raisins
  • 2 cups mixed candied fruit
  • 1 cup nuts (if desired)
Press with fingers onto greased, floured cookie sheet. Bake at 375° for 10-13 minutes. Don't bake too long. Ice while hot using orange juice, powdered sugar, and butter. Icing is very thin, like a glaze. These are more delicious after two days.
