- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and ginger; mix into batter. Stir in diced pear, raisins, and chopped walnuts.
Step 3
Drop cookie dough about 2 inches apart by rounded tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets.
