How to Make Mmmmness Molasses Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan, combine 1 cup molasses, ½ cup hot water, and ½ cup raisins.
  2. Bring the molasses mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely to room temperature. While it cools, in a separate large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Once the molasses mixture is completely cool, gently stir it into the sifted dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  6. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies generously with brown sugar.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
