Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (one stick) melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice from about 1 orange, plus the zest of the orange
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- turbinado sugar to coat the cookies (optional)
Instructions
- Cream together butter and sugar with an electric hand or standing mixer.
- Add egg, mix until well combined.
- Add orange juice (1/4 cup), orange zest, kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), baking soda (1 teaspoon), and spices; mix until well combined.
- Add flour (1.5 cups); mix until just combined.
- Fold in raisins (1/2 cup).
- Chill dough for about an hour.
- Put turbinado sugar in a small bowl, if using. Spoon out small portions of the dough and roll into balls (no bigger than a ping-pong ball), and roll the balls of dough in the turbinado sugar until coated.
- Place the cookie balls on a parchment covered cookie sheet, about two inches apart (they will flatten considerably)
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until just starting to get golden.
Notes
- You can use regular whole wheat flour, spelt flour, or regular white flour (add 1/4 cup) for this.
