Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease cookie sheets. Beat shortening and sugar in mixer bowl til fluffy. Add eggs, orange juice and rum extract. Beat 2 minutes longer.
- 2. Combine flour, baking powder and soda, and salt in small bowl. I use a whisk, it mixes dry ingredients so much better. Add fruit and nuts. Stir into creamed mixture.
- 3. Drop by rounded tablespoons full onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake 12 minutes +, or til golden. Let cookies stand on cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely. *Can drizzle accross with rum-flavored powdered suagr icing, or dip halfway into white chocolate and let harden if desired. *See Icings and Glazes for recipe.
