ingredients

  • 2 C flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 T unsalted butter at cool room temp
  • 1/4 C sugar
  • 1/2 C light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 C molasses
  • 1 C raisins

directions

  • 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees

  • 2

    Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and next 7 ingredients (through salt).

  • 3

    Beat the butter and sugars in a bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until just combined, about 30 seconds each. Add the molasses and beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add the dry ingredients in 3 batches, mixing each on low speed until almost incorporated before adding the next, and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

    Using a rubber spatula, form the dough on a baking sheet into 2 logs about 2x14in and about 6 inches apart, as they will spread a lot as they bake. You can smooth the logs using moistened fingers. Bake until they feel set, are golden brown and cracked on top: about 20 minutes. Cool on a rack and cut on a diagonal into slices about 1 1/4 inches thick.
