Preheat the oven to 350 degrees; lightly grease baking sheets. In a
mixing bowl, beat the maple syrup, shortening and egg with an electric
mixer on medium speed until the mixture is well combined. In another mixing
bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry
ingredients alternately to the syrup mixture with the milk, beating with
the mixer on low speed after each addition until just combined. Stir in the
oats, raisins and nuts with a spoon. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto
the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are
lightly browned. Remove and cool the cookies on wire racks. Penny Halsey
