This comes from a great cookbook that was given to me for Christmas many
years ago "Christmas Memories Cookbook" by Mystic Seaport Members. Many of
the recipes in it are fabulous and have become Christmas traditions, as

A 100-year old recipe. The mystery is ours. Who drank the wine?
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream well the shortening, sugar and egg
3. In medium bowl, combine dry ingredients. In another bowl combine milk
and molasses
4. Add flour and milk mixture. Add raisins
5. Drop by spoonsful onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 15
minutes
6. While still warm from the oven, dust with confectioners' sugar

questions, e-mail me privately.
