Add Step-by-Step Photos	Lor / All my dishes 9 months, 3 weeks ago These richly flavoured cookies are great with a little "Arsenic and Old Lace." Now, I should edify what I mean because I wouldn't want anyone assuming for a second that I am implying anything other than the classic novel ;-) Written without prejudicial implications....

Ingredients

3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar

2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, softened

3/4 cup molasses

1 large egg

1-1/2 cups raisins or approximately 6 ounces which have been soaked for 10 minutes in boiling water with a splash of Irish Whiskey ;-) then drained well. Don't throw the liquid away, save it for another recipe!!!

Icing:

1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) salted butter, softened

1 cups powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt cinnamon, ginger, and allspice; set aside.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar to form a grainy paste.

Add molasses and egg, scraping down side as needed, beat until light and fluffy.

Add flour mixture and raisins, and blend at low speed until just combined.

Divide dough in half and form into logs 1-1/2-inch in diameter.

Wrap both logs with wax paper and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
