~~~Molasses Raisin Cookies~~~
Yield: 4 dozen

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. allspice
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup salted butter, softened
3/4 cup unsulfered molasses
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups (6 oz.) raisins

Icing:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 Tbsp. milk

Preheat oven to 300°F.
In a medium bowl combine flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and allspice. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.
In a large bowl beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until mixture forms a grainy paste. Scrape sides of bowl, then add molasses and egg. Beat until light and fluffy.
Add the flour mixture and raisins, and blend at low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
Divide dough in half and shape each half into a roll 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap rolls in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. (I put them in freezer to speed it up.)
Slice cookies 1/2-inch thick and place on ungreased cookie sheets, 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 25-27 minutes until cookies are set. Immediately transfer cookies with a spatula to a cool surface.
To prepare the icing: Blend sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Using a small spoon or knife, drizzle cookies with icing.
( I make double the frosting and I don't frost them until they are a little cooled)
