1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Beat together white and brown sugars, butter and shortening until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla and lemon extract to mix well.

Drop tablespoonfuls of dough 2 1/2 inches apart onto greased baking sheet. With the back of the spoon, spread round and round making the outer edge of the cookies a little thicker than the center. Sprinkle generously with the reserved white sugar and place a fat raisin in the center of each cookie.
