Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter or margarine
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup fancy molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the molasses and egg, mixing well.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl, then add to the creamed mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Stir in the raisins.
- Shape into one inch balls and roll in sugar. (I used a cookie scoop and omitted the sugar part).
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until they are browned on the bottom and top. These are better slightly underbaked.
