Ingredients

1 cup shortening
1 ½ cups white sugar
4 eggs
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla. Mix in the flour and baking soda until combined. Then stir in the raisins just enough to distribute evenly.
