Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup white sugar
1 cup buttermilk
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tablespoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ cup shortening
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
½ cup raisins, soaked in water and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening, add the buttermilk, and mix until creamy. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, cloves and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Then stir in the soaked raisins and pecans. By the time you are this far along, you may find it easier to mix with your hands.
  • Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place them on the cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Watch carefully as the bottoms tend to burn easily.
