Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

- Add the molasses and egg, mixing well.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl, then add to the creamed mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Stir in the raisins.
- Shape into one inch balls and roll in sugar. (I used a cookie scoop and omitted the sugar part).

- Bake for 12-14 minutes until they are browned on the bottom and top. These are better slightly underbaked.
