Raisin Wheat Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup raisins
2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup shortening at room temp
cut into 8 pieces
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 egg
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Cover raisins with hot water and let stand for 5
minutes, drain. In medium sized food processor with metal
blade inserted combine flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg,
cinnamon and oats. Cover and pulse 4-5 times. Remove
mixture and reserve. Measure into processor bowl,
shortening, sugars and eggs. Cover and process 30 seconds.
Scrape bowl. Remove cover and add raisins and nuts.
Process 5 seconds or until nuts are chopped to desired
size. Add flour mixture and combine batter by pulsing 5-6
times, until flour just disappears. Do not overprocess.
The light dusting of flour on the dough surface will blend
in easily as dough is shaped. Drop by spoonfuls on greased
cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes. Cool on
cookie sheet several minutes before removing to wire racks
to cool.
