1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease baking sheets with a little shortening or line them with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, cream the shortening, brown sugar and white sugar together until smooth and fluffy.

3. Beat the egg into the creamed mixture until fully combined.

4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.

5. Stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined.

6. Fold in the grated zucchini, raisins and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed through the soft dough.

7. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough about 2 inches (5 cm) apart onto the prepared baking sheets.

8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the cookies are set. Cool on the sheets for 2 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
