Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp ginger (ground )
  • 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon (ground )
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (ground )
  • 1/4 tsp clove (ground)
  • 3 tbsp oil (i like organic canola for it's omega
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla (i highly recommend pure extract, not artificial which leaves a bothering aftertaste)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and have a large cookie sheet ready, greased or lined with parchment paper (if not a non-stick sheet).
  2. In a small saucepan, bring the water and the raisins to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Let cool.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and spices.
  4. Then, in a large bowl, put the molasses and the oil, and mix until smooth.
  5. Add the vanilla, and the cooled water and raisins and stir a couple times.
  6. Next, you put the flour in the molasses and prepare to act quickly : if you don't, your cookies will delfate.
  7. Using a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl, stir until well mixed but not any more.
  8. Then, drop the batter by tablespoonfuls on the cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart from eachother.
  9. Cook for 10-12 minutes, they will be soft when you get them out of the oven, but when cooled they will have a nice crisp on the outside and a soft cakelike texture on the inside.
  10. You may have enough dough to make a second batch.
