Time: 12 Cholesterol per serving: 4mg In a food processor bowl with
a metal blade, combine raisins and hot water. Cover; process 2 to 3
minutes or until pureed. In a large bowl, combine raisin mixture, 1
cup sugar, molasses and egg; blend well. Lightly spoon flour into
measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour, baking soda, cinnamon,
ginger, cloves and salt; mix well. Cover with plastic wrap;
refrigerate 2 to 3 hours for easier handling.
Heat oven to 350F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in 1/4 cup
sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350F
for 8 to 12 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie
sheets.
HIGH ALTITUDE – Above 3500 feet: Decrease sugar to 3/4 cup. Bake as
directed.
Note: I keep my hands slightly wet when shaping cookies so the dough
doesn’t stick to my hands.
