This is one of my favorite recipes from the 1943 edition Joy of Cooking.
Sift ¾ cups of brown sugar.
Beat until soft ½ cup butter.
Add the sugar gradually to the butter and beat until they are light and fluffy.
Beat in one at a time: 2 eggs
Sift before measuring 1 ½ cups flour
Resift with ½t soda, 1t cinnamon, ½t cloves, ¼t allspice, ⅛ t salt.
Add the sifted ingredients in 3 parts to the butter mixture alternatively with ¼ cup water.
Beat the batter until it is smooth after each addition.
Stir in 1 cup broken nuts and 1 cup raisins, dates, or figs.
Drop batter from a teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 12 minutes in a 375F preheated oven.
