| INSTRUCTIONS |
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease one or more cookie sheets. Using an electric mixer, cream together 1/2 cup butter, shortening, and sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and beat until mixture is light-colored. Add buttermilk.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice; stir into creamed mixture. Fold in oatmeal, raisins, walnuts, and vanilla, blending well. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
To make icing, heat 1/2 cup butter over medium heat in a small saucepan until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough water to make an icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm cookies. |
