Ingredients

• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 1 unit Large egg
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together until well blended. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the molasses and egg to the butter mixture and beat until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms until smooth.

Step 8

Roll each dough ball in the reserved 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to coat evenly.

Step 9

Place the sugar-coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have formed crinkles. For a crisper texture, bake towards the higher end of the range.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve with tea, coffee, or enjoy on their own!
