Description
Delicious and chewy molasses logs with raisins, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter (113g, room temperature (1 stick))
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- ⅓ cup unsulphured molasses (113g)
- 2 large eggs (100g, room temperature)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (4g)
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour (300g)
- 1 tsp baking powder (4g)
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp ground cloves
- 1 cup raisins (150g)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Use a hand mixer to cream the butter, sugar, and molasses together.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients as you beat the mixture on low.
- Mix in the raisins.
- Divide the dough into 2 sections (about 494 grams each), and form each section into a log about 12 inches long.
- Place the logs lengthwise on a large baking sheet. Then, flatten the logs to about ¾-inch thickness.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the logs are puffed up and have slight cracks in the middle.
- Let cool before slicing into rectangles on the diagonal.
Notes
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
- Adjust baking time if your logs are thicker or thinner.
